Question

read the excerpt from franklin roosevelts request for a declaration of war. yesterday, december 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - the united states of america was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the empire of japan. what is the impact of the loaded language in this paragraph? it establishes the speakers credibility. it creates a confident and reassuring tone. it calls attention to the urgency of the message. it sets up a contrast between the past and the future.

Explanation:

Loaded language like "suddenly and deliberately attacked" emphasizes the immediate threat. Words like "infamy" (a date that will be remembered for its evil) and the description of the unprovoked attack highlight that action is needed right away. It's not about credibility (no mention of the speaker's past actions/knowledge to build trust), not a confident/reassuring tone (the situation is dire), and no past - future contrast (just focus on the attack happening).

Answer:

It calls attention to the urgency of the message.
