In his "Four Freedoms" Speech to Congress, President Franklin Roosevelt calls for the end of human oppression and the beginning of universal
liberty. Which sentence from the passage best support this analysis?
from Roosevelt's "Four Freedoms" Speech
The first is freedom of speech and expression--everywhere in the world,
The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way everywhere in the world,
The third is freedom from want-which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a
healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants-everywhere in the world,
The fourth is freedom from fear-which, translated into world terms, means a world wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a
thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor-anywhere in the world,
That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is

keep them. Our strength is our unity of purpose.
To that high concept there can be no end save victory
