making his decision? Select two options.
the approval of Congress to use the bomb
the death of innocent Japanese people if he used the bomb
the effect on his reelection bid and his legacy if he used the bomb
the death of many US soldiers in further fighting if he did not use the bomb
the continuation of the war if Japan would not surrender if he did not use the bomb

Two right choices:

- The death of many US soldiers in further fighting if he did not use the bomb.

- the continuation of the war if Japan would not surrender if he did not use the bomb.

Explanation:

According to some estimates, hundreds of thousands of US soldiers could have died if the American forces would have invaded the main Japanese islands due to expected fierce resistance. The war would still continue for a long time. Truman had to take the American public reaction to such a horrendous high number of casualties into account, and the political costs for his administration.
