First of all, we need to establish two definitions here. the first one is Americanism that is the attachment to ideas and traditions in the USA, basically being an absolute patriot.
The second word is fiend which is a person who has negative intentions towards your feelings and in general, to anything other people value.
Taking this in consideration we can say that the correct answer is It develops the conflict by establishing the fact that Judge Lenon is unforgiving when he feels that someone has been unpatriotic since he is a fiend for Americanism he won't stop in his objective of going against anything that is opposite to his beliefs.
The other options are not correct because they talk about the use of vocabulary more than its meaning and the last one talks about corruption which is not mentioned in the excerpt.
It is the evening of August 6. After 12 hours of post-bomb suffering, a Japanese naval launch moves slowly down the seven rivers of Hiroshima, stopping at strategic spots. A young naval officer in a neat uniform announces that there is hope and that the people should be patient because help — a naval hospital ship — is coming. The survivors breathe easier knowing help is on the way.
My favorite is Abraham Lincoln. He is an important president as he has freed the slaves and abolished slavery forever with his emancipation proclamation. He also brought our country through the civil war which ended with a great union win.
Hope i helped have a great day
