"Yesterday, December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy—the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacke

d by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.
The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its Government and its Emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in Oahu, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to the Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. While this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or armed attack.

It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.

The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. Very many American lives have been lost. In addition American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.

Yesterday the Japanese Government also launched an attack against Malaya. Last night Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong. Last night Japanese forces attacked Guam. Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands. Last night the Japanese attacked Wake Island. This morning the Japanese attacked Midway Island.

Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation.

As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense.

Always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.

I believe I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again.

Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.

With confidence in our armed forces—with the unbounded determination of our people—we will gain the inevitable triumph—so help us God.

I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December seventh, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire."

What is the main effect of the line Always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us?

To create outrage in listeners that would encourage them to rally to the cause
To imply citizens would soon view the attack differently
To remind legislators to act quickly while public sentiment was high
To suggest a way of viewing the events for those who were still uncommitted

To create outrage in listeners that would encourage them to rally to the cause

By saying that the American people will always remember Pearl Harbor, shows the enormity of the attack. It further emphasizes the catastrophic leveling of the Navy and Pearl Harbor. This then helps to create outrage and drives the listeners to want to seek revenge, to retaliate, to join in the war the US has so carefully been trying to stay out of.

Impotent
mafiozo [28]

Loren, the new manager, is the <u><em>antithesis</em></u> of compassion; just yesterday, she fired two people because they were late to work once this week. Corporate headquarters, upset with declining sales, appointed Loren to replace a[n] <u><em>impotent</em></u>  manager who had been spotted on the golf course during work hours one-too-many times. Loren's many changes and <u><em>emendation(s)</em></u><em> </em>to company guidelines caused a[n] <u><em>maelstrom</em></u> in both the warehouse and the salesroom. Employees faced evaluations and new instructions that drove many to resign; however, it was part of Loren's plan. The people who quit, she reasoned, were just <u><em>impediment</em></u>  to meeting the expected monthly profit margin. Loren spent the first two weeks familiarizing herself with the <u><em>labyrinth</em></u> of shelves and palettes in the warehouse. Shreds of textiles littered parts of the packaging area; some were hefty snippets of wool, and others were <u><em>diaphanous</em></u> scraps of silk that hovered in the gust created by passing forklifts. She occasionally stopped to introduce herself to the workers, but she ceased her introductions after noticing the regular look of <u><em>chagrin</em></u> on workers' faces as they scrambled to look busy or stumbled over the proper responses to her questions. After the first round of resignations-and, firings, most of the workers were intimidated by Loren's <u><em>bestial</em></u> management techniques.

Hope this helps! Please let me know if you need more help, or if you think my answer is incorrect. Brainliest would be MUCH appreciated. Have a great day!

Stay Brainy!

What logical evidence, or reasoning, in the passage best supports the claim that Indians must work hard for opportunities? Check
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

“Build up . . . institutions which will ensure justice”

“end poverty and ignorance and disease”

Explanation:

The lines given above are from "Tryst with Destiny", a speech delivered by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of independent India, on August 14, 1947, the night that India gained independence. The Prime Minister gave this speech to the Indian Constituent Assembly in The Parliament.

He insists that better future awaits people, provided they work hard. It is only in this way that Indians will earn money and put a stop to poverty. By working hard, Indian people will also set up institutions which will bring justice.
