Question

the country needs and, unless i mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent experimentation. if it fails, admit it frankly and try another. but, above all, try something.
—franklin d. roosevelt, commencement speech at oglethorpe university, 1932
based on the excerpt, president roosevelt responded to those in opposition to the new deal by —
options:

• explaining the need for declaring war on germany
• appointing more supreme court justices
• agreeing to collaborate with his critics
• arguing that government needed to act decisively

Explanation:

The question is about President Roosevelt's response to New Deal opposition. The excerpt emphasizes action ("try something"). The option "arguing that government needed to act decisively" aligns with his New Deal philosophy of active government intervention. Other options: declaring war on Germany is WWII - related (not New Deal), appointing more justices was his court - packing plan (not a response to general New Deal opposition), and collaborating with critics doesn't match his stance.

Answer:

The option: "arguing that government needed to act decisively" (the last option in the list of choices).
