The arrest of Tweed passes the message that he had immunity from the country's legal and justice system.

Looking at the cartoon, he is to be arrested and yet he is seated and smiling. The shadow justice just looks on behind him.

Tweed was a very corrupt personality that had great power. With his money and influence he could effect changes in the justice system at his own will.

The Sheriff who came to make the arrest has his hand on his shoulder in a friendly way. With his cap in hand, he bade him goodbye as he laughingly called Tweed his man.

This was titled another good joke because he seemed to have bought the justice system to be on his side.

Answer:

The correct answer is D. Kamikazes, and the Japanese army.

Explanation:

The Battle of Leyte Gulf, which took place between October 23 and 26, 1944, was a maritime battle between the United States and Japan in the framework of World War II. During this battle the navies of both nations faced each other, triumphing the American navy, which practically destroyed its adversary and neutralized the dominance of Japan in the waters of the Pacific.

Now, despite the fact that the Japanese navy no longer had effective possibilities of causing problems for the Americans, the truth is that even so an invasion by land of Japan was seen as a complicated undertaking. This because the Japanese had begun to use their famous kamikazes, pilots who crashed their planes against their targets causing high damage, as well as due to the ferocity of their combatants in the army, who fought until destruction, either their own or the enemy's, avoiding surrender.
