The third paragraph in this essay would be about "How using the atomic bomb saved lives." If you take a look at the claim, the author uses three pieces of information to support Truman's decision. The first pieces of information is that it ended the war. Then, the author proceeds to talk about this in the first body paragraph.

The second piece of evidence used in the claim sentence talks about how the bomb saved lives. Based on the claim, it would make sense that the second body paragraph would be about the second piece of evidence used to support their claim.
