Question

read the claim below.
franklin d. roosevelt was the greatest president of the twentieth century.
select the piece of evidence that best supports this claim.
roosevelts policies helped americans weather the great depression, and his leadership during world war ii helped ensure victory for the allies.
under roosevelt, the scope and power of the federal government ballooned, and critics argue that this prolonged the great depression.
the twenty-second amendment, which limits a president to two terms in office, was ratified in 1951 in response to roosevelts four-term presidency.

Explanation:

The first piece of evidence highlights Roosevelt's positive contributions - helping Americans through the Great Depression and leading to Allied victory in World War II. These are significant achievements that support the claim of him being a great president. The second option presents a negative aspect (criticism about the federal government's role during the Depression). The third option is more about a consequence of his long presidency (the 22nd Amendment) rather than directly supporting his greatness as a president.

Answer:

Roosevelt's policies helped Americans weather the Great Depression, and his leadership during World War II helped ensure victory for the Allies.
