Read the excerpt from The Dark Game. British government leaders didn't present the Zimmermann telegram to Wilson for a few weeks. Hall reminded them that outrage was growing in America over Germany's announcement late in the day of January 31 that the German navy would resume unrestricted submarine warfare. In fact, that policy provoked the U. S. government to cut diplomatic relations with Germany in February.

Which can be inferred from the information in the excerpt?

Hall wanted to let the American outrage simmer down before revealing the contents of the telegraph.
Hall knew that growing outrage among the American public would help Britain’s cause.
Hall worried that the American public would lose interest in the contents of the telegraph.
Hall disagreed with the British government’s choice to wait before showing the telegraph to Wilson.

Hall knew that growing outrage among the American public would help Britain's cause.

Explanation: According the the excerpt, it says that "Hall reminded them", thus saying that Hall was not in favor of waiting before presenting the telegram.

Hall didn't want to wait until American outrage simmered down before revealing the contents of the telegram. No where in the excerpt does it hint this.

Hall wasn't worried that the Americans would lose interest in the contents of the telegram. The telegram contained information that would alert the Americans of a possible attack from Mexico.

Hall did disagree with the waiting, but the excerpt is hinting that Hall wanted to use the telegram to gain supporters for Britain against the Germans.

Cheers

(If I'm wrong, then the answer is that Hall disagreed with the British government's choice to wait before showing the telegraph to Wilson)

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.
