roosevelt uses objective language to influence the american public with logic and reason
roosevelt uses objective language to emphasize his authority and garner support in the execution of the order
roosevelt uses loaded language to appeal to the emotions of the american public and to maintain their trust

Explanation:

The excerpt is an official executive order. Words like "authorize," "direct," and the listing of specific departments and supplies in a matter - of - fact way are objective. The purpose of such language in an executive order is to show the president's authority (by using terms like "authorize" and "direct" which are commands) and to get support (by detailing how different entities should assist) for the execution of the order. Loaded language (emotion - provoking words) is not present here. It's not about appealing to fear/anger (no negative, inflammatory words about Japanese) or using logic/reason in a persuasive sense (like an argument with premises and conclusions), but rather about command and coordination.

Answer:

Roosevelt uses objective language to emphasize his authority and garner support in the execution of the order.
