Question

Read this excerpt from a leaflet that the United States circulated in Japan in 1945. Then answer the question that follows.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. Japan was prolonging a terrible and bloody war that had an inevitable outcome. On another tab of my internet browser, I literally have the graded test open with this marked as the correct answer.

Answer 2

Although this is not a consistent motive, mainly in accordance with international treaties dealing with war and armed conflict, the United States attacked Japan because of its insistence on the conflict, which, according to the text, forced the United States to attack it.
 
D.) Nations that failed to surrender to the Allies were asking for a nuclear attack.
