A). It reinforces the idea of the United Nations’ strength and power.

Explanation:

Repetition is one of the most commonly employed persuasive techniques to convey the ideas more effectively and convince the audience to believe in those ideas propagated by the speaker. In the given excerpt from President Roosevelt's union address, the word 'strike' has been constantly repeated by the president to reinforce the idea of the United Nation's strength and power. He intended to persuade his audience to believe in the tenacity and capability of the UN. Thus, option A is the correct answer.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
