Read paragraph 4 of the draft of Franklin D. Roosevelt's Day of Infamy speech and then listen to the audio recording.

In delivering the speech, Roosevelt adds the phrase, “I regret to inform you” to the sentence, “Very many American lives have been lost.” He then takes a long pause before continuing.

Why does Roosevelt add this phrase to his speech and take the long pause?

Roosevelt adds the phrase and the pause to stress the personal responsibility he feels for allowing this tragedy to take place.

He adds the phrase and the pause to make the tone of the speech seem more formal.

The phrase and the pause enable Roosevelt to emphasize the emotional impact of this tragic loss of life.
