Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Government intervention is needed to guarantee that Americans will support the war. 

They faced similar problems like they did in world war one. The citizens thought a lot about being isolated and didn't want meddling in European affairs, while they also had many people of different ethnicity who felt differently about the war. The country needed to interfere to get support for participation in the war and they did get it eventually.
