Respuesta :

The correct answer is A) he wanted to thank Americans for treating him as a hero.

General MacArthur addressed Congress after he was fired because he wanted to thank Americans for treating him as a hero.

General McCarthur delivered his farewell address to a Joint Committee of Congress on April 19, 1951. One week earlier, President Harry Truman had relieved him as Commander of the United States forces in Korea. The reason was that McArthur had challenged Truman´s decision. McArthur threatened to attack China.  So yes, General MacArthur addressed Congress after he was fired because he wanted to thank Americans for treating him as a hero.
