Explanation

Roosevelt lists practical forms of assistance, such as medical aid, food, transportation, and shelter, using formal and matter-of-fact wording. This is objective language rather than emotionally charged language. The directive also stresses that federal agencies are authorized and required to help carry out the order, emphasizing presidential authority and the order’s implementation. Therefore, the best choice is “Roosevelt uses objective language to emphasize his authority and garner support in the execution of the order.”
