Explanation:

Question #10

• Option A: The sinking of the Lusitania by a German U - boat was a factor that increased anti - German sentiment in the US and contributed to US entry into WWI.
• Option B: The US found it difficult to remain neutral as the war progressed, with factors like trade with the Allies and German actions pushing it towards involvement.
• Option C: Turkey did not invade Belgium; Germany invaded Belgium, so this is incorrect.
• Option D: The Zimmerman Telegram, where Germany tried to get Mexico to attack the US, was a major reason for US entry.

• Option A: It was Germany that tried to get Mexico to join the war against the US (via the Zimmerman Telegram), not the other way around.
• Option B: The US was not stopping and searching German ships in a way that made Germany angry in the context of WWI causes.
• Option C: The Bismarck was a German battleship, but it was sunk during WWII, not WWI, and not by the US in this context.
• Option D: The US was sending weapons and supplies to the Allies (Britain, France, etc.), which angered Germany as it was helping their enemies.

• Option A: The Monroe Doctrine was about US opposition to European colonialism in the Americas, not related to this message.
• Option B: The Zimmerman Telegram was a message from Germany to Mexico, proposing an alliance if the US entered the war, and it included the parts about submarine warfare and reclaiming territory in the US, which matches the excerpt.
• Option C: The Selective Service Act was about conscription in the US, not related to this message.
• Option D: The Roosevelt Corollary was an addition to the Monroe Doctrine about US intervention in Latin America, not related to this.
