b. island-hopping
c. kamikaze attacks
d. the Bataan Death March
D?
Definitely NOT "D"!!

Nope. I think you're just guessing on many of your answers.
The Bataan Death March was with Americans and others as prisoners. Blitzkrieg was a bombing method used by Germany. Kamikaze were suicide attacks by Japanese planes. What does that leave you?
In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking
Ask yourself: What's in the Pacific Ocean?
Actually, the correct answer is b. island-hopping. To arrive at this answer, we can start by eliminating options that do not match the context of the question.
a. Blitzkrieg: This term refers to a German military tactic used during World War II, characterized by fast and coordinated attacks using tanks and aircraft. It does not relate to the American forces in the Pacific.
c. Kamikaze attacks: While kamikaze attacks were utilized by the Japanese during World War II, they were not a strategy used by American forces. Kamikaze attacks involved purposefully crashing piloted aircraft into enemy targets, which was not a tactic employed by the United States.
d. The Bataan Death March: The Bataan Death March was a brutal forced march of around 60,000-80,000 American and Filipino prisoners of war by the Japanese forces in 1942. This event was related to the early stages of the war in the Pacific, but it does not represent a strategy used by American forces.
Therefore, given the options provided, the correct answer is b. island-hopping. Island-hopping was a military strategy used by the United States in the Pacific Theatre during World War II. It involved selectively attacking and capturing certain islands from the Japanese, while bypassing others, in order to establish air bases and supply lines closer to Japan. This strategy allowed the United States to gradually advance towards the Japanese mainland while bypassing heavily defended islands, reducing casualties and maximizing strategic advantages.
