A. The war effort required American civilians to contribute.
Total war means the country fighting needs not just all aspects of military personnel but also the dedication of civilians.
In World War II, American civilians were asked to participate in the war effort by giving up items needed for the war. Rationing of major items needed for the war made sure there was food and supplies for the soldiers. Civilians were also asked to purchase bonds to help fund the war effort. Factories were transformed into war machines and people were put to work including women. The entire society became focused on the war.

<u>Strategic and Organic Activism:</u>
Strategic activism refers to highly planned involvement that demands nothing else but only the necessary input to be brought into operation to fetch the desired output. On the other hand, organic activism refers to the use of conventional means and methods without putting much emphasis on expected results.
In order to strictly bring about the desired results, it is mandatory to have a strategic plan about what is to be done to achieve only what is wanted. Thus, when an individual or an institution sticks to the plan and operates accordingly, it is referred to as strategic activism. Organic activism, on the contrary, is simply logrolling to get hold of whatever the result is.
