Answer 1

Check:
- It shows spooky, shadowy hands trying to grab at a baby.
- It shows a mother holding her baby close.
- It uses exclamatory text to imply the need for protection.
- It boldly tells the viewer to buy victory bonds.

Why: the dark hands create a menacing enemy threat, the mother clutching the child appeals to protectiveness, the exclamation/urgent wording raises alarm and urgency, and the direct command converts that fear into the specific action of buying bonds. (The mother/child may look worried rather than overtly terrified, so I did not check the “terrified” option.)
