what was Japan's goal in attacking midway island?

Question

its multiple choice, 

a- gain a base from which to attack hawaii

b-cut amerivan supply lines to australia

c- destroy American fleet 

d- gain control of resources on midway 

Answer 1

We can eliminate choice (a) and choice (d) because when you attack something, you are actually destroying something.  You can believe that there will be no base nor resources on that island to gain from after such an attack.  Between b and c,

Midway Island is located near Hawaii.

 

The answer here is choice (c).
