The answer is c on apex

Pearl Harbor marks the enter of the United States to WWII in an active and fighthing way, prior to this the States had no real reason to enter the war according to its laws, there had been no attacks nor damages on american soil or army bases around the globe, this was the perfect reason to enter the war and help the allies. President Roosevelt´s speech then tried:

C To issue a strong response to the attack on Pearl Harbor by declaring war on Japan.

both the address and the poster use diction to convey their message. diction is defined as a style of writing or speaking based on the types of words chosen in order to send a message. parallelism is when a similar sentence structure is used for several sentences on a text; roosevelt's address doesn't follow that. repetition has to do with repeating a word or sentence in order to emphasize and idea, however neither the poster nor the address use repetion. finally, the address doesn't use images to convey a message.
