Read the passage from roosevelt's "quarantine" speech.

roosevelt makes an inference that his audience believes america can escape aggression. is this a logical inference?

question options:

yes, because america has isolated itself in hopes of avoiding being drawn into a conflict

yes, because roosevelt's audience has explicitly stated that they believe they will escape aggression

no, because roosevelt's audience has not explicitly stated that they believe they will escape aggression

no, because while america is currently practicing isolationism, it was not a conscious, deliberate decision to do so.
