Getting to the Answer: Notice how the stem of the question doesn't ask you to find evidence for an argument; it instead gives you the evidence (the example of V-J Day) and then asks you to figure out what argument this evidence supports. Choice (D) is correct. Clinton mentions V-J Day as an example of something that resulted from cooperation between men and women.
