(4) Some navy veterans served on warships, while others may have had duties onshore.

Explanation:

Sentence 4 should be eliminated in order to improve the unity of the paragraph. Sentences 1 to 3 discuss the challenges that veterans face when they have to return to the workforce. These include developing their interviewing skills and their resume-writing skills. It also includes finding work after being out of the labor market for several years. However, sentence 4 does not discuss the challenges faced by veterans, which makes it irrelevant to the paragraph.

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
