Correct answers: 2 and 3.
- 2 (true): Coral Sea was the first significant strategic check on Japanese expansion in the Pacific and is often called the Allies' first important success there.
- 3 (true): The battle stopped the Japanese seaborne invasion of Port Moresby, denying them a staging area for direct attacks on Australia.
- 1 (false/misleading): The battle damaged Japanese carrier air strength but did not simply “even” overall naval strength; losses on both sides left the situation complex and set the stage for Midway.
- 4 (false): It was not a direct ship-to-ship engagement — opposing forces never sighted one another; carrier aircraft fought the battle.
