"Yesterday, December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy—the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacke

d by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.
The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its Government and its Emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in Oahu, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to the Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. While this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or armed attack.

It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.

The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. Very many American lives have been lost. In addition American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.

In the second paragraph, the two commas in the last sentence serve which of the following purposes?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Answer C

Explanation:

Correct. The author uses the two commas to separate three comments, introduced by “But you will tell me,” that his audience could make to counter his earlier argument about nineteenth-century artists’ relationship to their surroundings. By using commas this way, the author is able to quickly identify and distinguish among three related claims within a potential counterargument to his own views. Doing so allows him to begin refuting this counterargument in the next paragraph.
