How did Themistocles interpret Oracles’ second prophecy? What was his plan?

Ships have wooden barricade(key to success) avoid contact on land; fight on sea

The second prophecy was less apocalyptic: 'Though all else shall be taken, Zeus, the all seeing, grants that the wooden wall only shall not fail. ' ... Themistocles had an answer of his own: the wooden wall, he argued, was nothing less than the fleet they had spent these last few years hurriedly constructing

please mark my answer as brainlist

hello!

according to the passage the most suitable options are two. the first one is "by leading the aef to victory in several key battles" like the battle of saint- mihiel and the battle of cantigny mentioned in the passage you copied here. the second one is "by the aef and allied forces defeat germany" since the passage says that his army destroy the german resistance in the meuse- argonne offensive. and also, "by insisting that the aef operate as an independent force".

hope this
