Question 12 • Language Arts 11

How does the text structure of "Wilson's War Message to Congress" help to support his message?

Answer
A
Wilson offers only his opinions on why entering World War I is a strategic move.
B
Wilson details his viewpoint of the situation using little factual information.
C
Wilson focuses on a single fact to convince Congress to go to war against Germany.
D
Wilson presents both his opinions and facts to make a clear argument for war against Germany.

Explanation

Wilson supports his call for war by combining his judgments about Germany’s actions with factual details, such as attacks on American ships and threats to U.S. lives and rights. This structure gives Congress both evidence and Wilson’s reasoning for why the United States should enter the war. Choice B correctly describes how he uses opinions and facts to make a clear argument.
