Explanation:

General MacArthur was a strong anti - communist. After North Koreans were pushed out of South Korea, his overarching aim was to eliminate communism in Korea. Taking over all of Korea was a means to this end of eradicating communism. Showing UN U.S. forces superiority and beating the Soviets were not the main reasons for wanting to punish North Koreans in this context.

A. His goal was to get rid of communism in Korea once and for all.
