The fourth is freedom from fear-which, translated into
world terms, means a world-wide reduction of
armaments to such a point and in such a thorough
fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an
act of physical aggression against any neighbor-
anywhere in the world.
That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite
basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and
generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of
the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators
seek to create with the crash of a bomb.
Roosevelt includes the second paragraph to serve as a
rebuttal for which counterclaim?
A. Fighting one war to escape a future war is not
logical.
B. Joining the war will not keep America safe from
attack.
C. Americans will be attacked if they do not join in the War.
D. A world free from fear is not possible in the near
future.

Roosevelt includes the second paragraph to serve as a rebuttal for the counterclaim:
D. A world free from fear is not possible in the near future.
In the second paragraph, he argues that a world defined by freedom from fear and a reduction of armaments is not a distant dream but an achievable goal within their own time and generation, countering the notion that such a world is unattainable in the foreseeable future.
