Question

1. how did the leadership of president franklin d. roosevelt better prepare the united states for the second world war?

his use of the lend - lease act led many american industries to convert to military production
his development of the united nations helped to plan the post - war world.
his embargo against germany led to fewer losses of transport ships
his personal friendship with germany’s hitler delayed the outbreak of war, allowing the american military to create a large standing army

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Franklin D. Roosevelt's Lend - Lease Act was crucial in getting American industries to convert to military production, which was a key part of preparing the US for WWII.
• Option 2: The United Nations was established after WWII, so it couldn't help plan the post - war world before the war even ended, let alone in preparing for WWII.
• Option 3: Roosevelt's actions were more about aiding allies and preparing the US for war, not specifically about reducing transit ship losses through actions against Germany (the focus was on overall war preparation and aid).
• Option 4: Roosevelt did not have a personal friendship with Hitler that delayed the war, and the US military was not building a large standing army in the pre - war period due to isolationist sentiment; instead, industrial conversion (via Lend - Lease etc.) was the main preparation.

Answer:

A. His use of the Lend - Lease Act led many American industries to convert to military production
