Read the paragraph.

In such a spirit on my part and on yours we face our common difficulties. They concern, thank God, only material things. Values have shrunk to fantastic levels; taxes have risen; our ability to pay has fallen; government of all kinds is faced by serious curtailment of income; the means of exchange are frozen in the currents of trade; the withered leaves of industrial enterprise lie on every side; farmers find no markets for their produce; and the savings of many years in thousands of families are gone. More important, a host of unemployed citizens face the grim problem of existence, and an equally great number toil with little return. Only a foolish optimist can deny the dark realities of the moment.

You are correct in identifying options B and C as possible answers based on the information in the paragraph. However, it is important to note that the paragraph does not directly state Franklin D. Roosevelt's specific purpose. It provides information about the current state of the nation, acknowledging difficulties such as shrinking values, rising taxes, unemployment, and other economic problems. Option B suggests that Roosevelt's purpose is to address specific problems that need to be resolved, which aligns with the information given. Option C states that his purpose is to firmly acknowledge the nation's current state, which is also supported by the paragraph. Thus, both options B and C are potential correct answers based on the information provided.
