Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

What is FDR’s expectation of how the war will end? What specific examples of his language indicate his beliefs about who will be victorious?

As the leader of the United States during World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt showed confidence that with the inclusion of the US Army in the war, the victory was a matter of time.

In the attached excerpt we can read that he thought that he expected victory for the allies and punish the enemy.

When we read "It is not the intention of this government...to resort to mass reprisals. It is our intention that just and sure punishment shall be meted out to the ringleaders responsible for the organized murder of thousands..."

Let's remember that President Roosevelt died before the end of World War. Harry S. Truman was the United States President that had to make the toughest decision to launch the atomic bomb over Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end World War II.
