thinking of a new strategy besides invading the Japanese mainland.
weighing the pros and cons of surrendering to the Japanese.

Answer 1

thinking of a new strategy besides invading the Japanese mainland.

Explanation: Heavy kamikaze losses (e.g., at Okinawa) showed an invasion of Japan would be extremely costly, prompting Allied leaders to seek alternatives (blockade, intensified bombing, and ultimately use of atomic bombs) rather than a straightforward mainland invasion.
