Question

Which statement about Franklin Roosevelt is not true?

Answer 1

The correct answer is B) Roosevelt withdrew from office during his second term after contracting polio.

The statement that is not true about Franklin Roosevelt is “Roosevelt withdrew from office during his second term after contracting polio.”

Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945) was the 32nd President of the U.S. He has been the only United States President to occupy the office five times. He had the opportunity of leading the nation during the Great Depression and World War II. He was also famous for his reconstruction programs called the “New Deal”. But what is not true about Roosevelt is that he withdrew from office during his second term after contracting polio.  

Answer 2

Well,

The most well-known fact about FDR is that he served four terms (the fourth was incomplete).  Thus, option B starkly stands out among the other choices.  FDR served three full terms and then resigned early in his fourth term after contracting polio.
