A. guessing from context.

Explanation:

The strategy that would make use of your previous knowledge would be that of "guessing from context." When you are reading a text, and you do not understand something (a word, a situation, an event, etc.) one of the things that you can do is try to guess.

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.
