Question

read the excerpt from the final paragraph of \wilsons war message to congress.\ but the right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight for the things which we have always carried nearest our hearts—for democracy, for the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own governments... the most likely purpose of including this in the last paragraph is to establish a sense of patriotism and support for the war. explain why the united states has a system of democracy describe the economic interest the united states has in the war. convince citizens to dedicate themselves to the war effort.

Explanation:

The excerpt from Wilson’s War Message emphasizes fighting for democracy and rights. The purpose of including this in the last paragraph is to establish a sense of patriotism and support for the war by appealing to values like democracy that citizens hold dear. The other options: explaining the US democracy system is not the focus (the excerpt is about war, not explaining democracy’s system), describing economic interests is incorrect as the excerpt is about ideals not economics, and “convince citizens to dedicate to war effort” is less about dedication and more about building support/patriotism for the war itself.

Answer:

A. establish a sense of patriotism and support for the war.
