Read the excerpt from The Dark Game.

British government leaders didn't present the Zimmermann telegram to Wilson for a few weeks. Hall reminded them that outrage was growing in America over Germany's announcement late in the day of January 31 that the German navy would resume unrestricted submarine warfare. In fact, that policy provoked the U.S. government to cut diplomatic relations with Germany in February.

Which can be inferred from the information in the excerpt?

Hall wanted to let the American outrage simmer down before revealing the contents of the telegraph.
Hall knew that growing outrage among the American public would help Britain’s cause.
Hall worried that the American public would lose interest in the contents of the telegraph.
Hall disagreed with the British government’s choice to wait before showing the telegraph to Wilson.

Answer :

Answer: Hall knew that growing outrage among the American public would help Britain's cause.

Explanation: According the the excerpt, it says that "Hall reminded them", thus saying that Hall was not in favor of waiting before presenting the telegram.

Hall didn't want to wait until American outrage simmered down before revealing the contents of the telegram. No where in the excerpt does it hint this.

Hall wasn't worried that the Americans would lose interest in the contents of the telegram. The telegram contained information that would alert the Americans of a possible attack from Mexico.

Hall did disagree with the waiting, but the excerpt is hinting that Hall wanted to use the telegram to gain supporters for Britain against the Germans.

Cheers

(If I'm wrong, then the answer is that Hall disagreed with the British government's choice to wait before showing the telegraph to Wilson)
