Which of these is the most likely purpose the author had for writing the editorial "It's Time for a Nation to Return the Favor"?

D. To have citizens of New Orleans petition Congress for the help they deserve.

Explanation:

In the editorial, the author recounted vividly how an embankment was placed for them on the shores  of the waters of New Orleans with complete assurance from the Engineers that the embankment could withstand Category 3 storms. That proved false when Hurricane Katrina hit the city and destroyed lots of businesses and homes.

The author appealed to all inhabitants and citizens to write letters and mails to Congress and the appropriation committees to give them the help they need to recover from the storm and prevent future occurrences.

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.
