Answer:  Revealed that government officials had misled Congress and the American people about the war.

Explanation:

Daniel Ellsberg was the military analyst who leaked "The Pentagon Papers" to the American press in 1971, revealing top secret information about US planning and decision-making in regard to the Vietnam War.  

The Vietnam War had a major impact in shifting public opinion toward distrust of government.  During the Vietnam War, a major credibility gap  became apparent in regard to what the government was telling the American public vs. what was actually taking place.  The term "credibility gap" was used by journalists who questioned the optimistic picture that the Lyndon Johnson administration painted regarding how the war was going, when investigative reporting showed a much more negative reality.

The credibility gap grew especially apparent when the Pentagon Papers (classified documents) were leaked to the press in 1971, showing that the government indeed had been deceiving the public about the plans and conduct of the war over the years.

The Pentagon Papers "revealed that government officials had misled Congress and the American people about the war," since it was argued that President Johnson knew far more about the detailed horrors and failed strategies of the war than he let on.

svetoff [14.1K]
<h3>Correct answer choices are:</h3>
  1. To use quotations that enhance the position
  2. To include reasons and evidence from research
  3. To add examples that support the main idea.
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The body paragraph in an argumentative essay is the one composed shortly after the beginning. The idea of the body paragraph is to create on the claim asserted in the introduction and present logical reasoning and related arguments to defend the assertion made above. This is mostly done via samples or case studies that are reported in detail in this paragraph. Such is the nature of an argumentative essay that any instance, claim or idea requires to have a logical support, for this view the use of analysis and accurate information is also presented to aid one's argument. Each paragraph in the body section concentrates on one singular point and describes it completely before moving onto the next.
