Read these lines from the roosevelt excerpt:
a part of the sacrifice means the payment of more money in taxes. in my budget message i shall recommend that a greater portion of this great defense program be paid for from taxation than we are paying today. no person should try, or be allowed, to get rich out of this program; and the principle of tax payments in accordance with ability to pay should be constantly before our eyes to guide our legislation.

if the congress maintains these principles, the voters, putting patriotism ahead of pocketbooks, will give you their applause.

based on the context, what does roosevelt say makes people patriotic?

willingness to be honest
willingness to defend the country
willingness to pay taxes
willingness to uphold principles

The correct answer is: Willingness to defend the country.

On this excerpt, Roosevelt says that Americans need to embrace their patriotism and put it ahead of their pocketbooks, paying a greater amount of money in taxes in order to pay for a defense program, which ultimately means that they will be defending the country if they support this taxation.

The answer to the question: Based on the context, what does Roosevelt say makes people patriotic? would be, B: Willingness to defend the country. Even if it is at the expense of having to pay more taxes.

Explanation:

In this small speech, what Roosevelt does first is hit the listeners with the harsh reality of his belief that more taxation is necessary in order to upkeep the spending budget, and expand its capacity, in order to sustain the defense program of the nation. But in order to drive the idea home, and not cause an uprise from the people, he calls on the ideals of patriotism and pushes people to think that a true patriot gives it all, even his money, in order to ensure the safety and wellbeing of his country. So, since he knew Americans were so keen on the patriotic ideals, he used that to ensure their acceptance of the imposition of new, and stronger, taxes for defense. This why the answer is B.

he has become more humble and patient in battle.
