every realist knows that the democratic way of life is at this moment being directly assailed in every part of the world - assailed either by arms, or by secret spreading of poisonous propaganda by those who seek to destroy unity and promote discord in nations that are still at peace.

• franklin d. roosevelt, \four freedoms speech: annual message to congress on the state of the union,\ january 6, 1941

which emotion is roosevelt most likely trying to create in this passage from his four freedoms speech?
a. anger that other nations dont care about democracy
b. fear that the enemy is trying to take away our freedom
c. anger that the enemy will use poison to attack us
d. fear that the cost of the war may bankrupt america

Explanation:

The passage from Roosevelt's "Four Freedoms Speech" emphasizes the threat to democratic values. Roosevelt was rallying support against those who endangered democracy. Option A ("Anger that other nations don't care about democracy") aligns with this as it reflects indignation towards external threats to democratic principles. Options B and C focus on fear (of enemy actions like taking freedom or using poison), which isn't the primary emotion here. Option D is about financial fear (war cost bankrupting America), which is also not the main emotional thrust of the speech excerpt.

Answer:

A. Anger that other nations don't care about democracy
