Answer

Brief Explanations:

Since the question is about selecting sentences to support a statement (not shown here, but likely related to the Rangers' actions on D - Day), we analyze each option:

  1. The first sentence ("At dawn, on the morning of the 6th of June, 1944, two hundred and twenty - five Rangers jumped off the British landing craft and ran to the bottom of these cliffs.") describes the Rangers' initial action of landing and moving towards the cliffs, which is a key action in their mission.
  2. The fifth sentence ("Soon, one by one, the Rangers pulled themselves over the top, and in seizing the firm land at the top of these cliffs, they began to seize back the continent of Europe.") describes the Rangers' success in seizing the top of the cliffs and starting to reclaim Europe, which is the outcome of their mission.

The other sentences either talk about the enemy's actions or the purpose statement, not the direct actions of the Rangers that support the likely statement about their D - Day mission.

Answer:

  • "At dawn, on the morning of the 6th of June, 1944, two hundred and twenty - five Rangers jumped off the British landing craft and ran to the bottom of these cliffs."
  • "Soon, one by one, the Rangers pulled themselves over the top, and in seizing the firm land at the top of these cliffs, they began to seize back the continent of Europe."
