To accurately determine what Roosevelt expressed in the quotations, I would need to see the specific quotations you are referring to. However, based on historical context, I can provide some insights into each option:
A. Roosevelt did express a commitment to halting the spread of communism, particularly later in his presidency, but this was more pronounced during the Cold War era after World War II.
B. The idea of bringing those responsible for the Holocaust to justice aligns with post-war sentiments, but Roosevelt himself did not specifically articulate this during his presidency, as the Holocaust was not fully known until after his death.
C. Roosevelt often spoke about the United States as a beacon of freedom and liberty, particularly in the context of the fight against fascism during World War II.
D. Roosevelt did support assisting the United Kingdom through programs like Lend-Lease, but he also sought to avoid direct military involvement until the attack on Pearl Harbor.
If you can provide the specific quotations, I can help you determine which option best aligns with Roosevelt's expressed sentiments.
