Correct. The answer is A. Rather than assuming that the lack of sabotage proves their loyalty to the United States, DeWitt assumes that it is indicative of Japanese Americans’ crafty intelligence and sneaky and calculating nature. Anti-Asian racism is the root of his beliefs.

Correct. The answer is B. Kikuchi is not surprised by the anti-Japanese hysteria, and he is resigned and accepting of the need to leave the University of California and relocate with his family. He does not express anger or shame; nor does he seem to understand the experience as something he will happily endure. He is surprisingly willing to look at the bright side and appreciate renewing his ties with his family.
