The correct answer is D) The Selective Service Act increased the size and strength of the U.S. military.
The development that may have changed this perspective by the end of 1918 was the Selective Service Act increased the size and strength of the U.S. military.
The United States Army was not respected before 1917 in the international arena, as the German Officer quote says. But things changed after the signing of the Selective Service Act that increased the size and strength of the U.S. military. The Selective Draft Act was enacted on May 18, 1917. It allowed the federal government of the United States to organize a professional national Army to send it to World War 1. The act was drafted by General Hugh S. Jhonson.
Oh, I love Fahrenheit 451! I always thought that having the last name Montag was so weird :) Anyway, so after Montag begins to lose faith in the utopian society that legalized complete book burning, he begins wandering the street at nighttime so that he can think about what he wants to do. While wandering, a car full of teenagers comes along. And what do they try to do? Why, they try to run him over. By including this in the novel, Bradbury shows just how amoral and corrupt society had gotten. Clarisse talks about this corruption earlier in the novel, when she speaks about how children try to run pedestrians over, simply for the fun of it. Corruption is at the very core of Bradbury's society, and affects both children and adults. <span />
