Read a paragraph from an essay supporting Truman’s decision to use the atomic bomb against Japan during World War II. [1] Many p

eople have argued that nothing could justify the president’s use of the atomic bomb because it killed so many innocent civilians. [2] Truman himself refused to drop a third atomic bomb on Japan because he was horrified by the death and devastation it had caused. [3] However, he never regretted his decision to use it in the first place. [4] Using the bomb brought an immediate end to a war that might have gone on for months or even years longer. [5] It is impossible to put a number on how many more deaths the continuing war might have caused, but there are indications. [6] Millions had already died in the Pacific theater. [7] Whenever US troops invaded an island, they knew the fight was to the death. [8] In the battle for Okinawa alone, there had been almost 50,000 US casualties, while Japan had suffered some 90,000 military deaths and at least 100,000 civilian deaths. [9] With his decision, Truman put an end to the slaughter. Which of these sentences should be followed by a citation? sentence 2 sentence 4 sentence 5 sentence 9

Answer:

[5] It is impossible to put a number on how many more deaths the continuing war might have caused, but there are indications.

Explanation:

This sentence should be followed by a citation since it carries a different verb tense from  the rest. This sentence is in the simple present and it reflects somebody's opinion. Therefore, it may imply a first- person sentence. The rest of the excerpt is in third person , it talks about Truman 's decision to drop the atomic bomb , and the verb tense is in the past
