Answer 1

The correct answer is D, the Japanese believed "it's better to die than to be captured". I am 100% sure

Answer 2

The correct answer is D.

Kamikaze were Special Attack Units within the aviation forces of the Japanese Empire, who performed suicide attacks against the vessels of the Allied Forces in the Pacific front during WWII. They were pilot-guided misiles, much more accurate than conventional ones.

There were widespread beliefs among the Japanese that appointed how being captured was a shame, and which made them desire death over the possibility of defeat. These were traditions and beliefs that dated back to the samurai era, and which shaped the mind of those kamikazes that were willing to die.
