a. most people in the united states read german newspapers.
b. it was easier to receive british news.

Explanation:

• Option A: Most Americans didn't primarily read German newspapers, so this is incorrect.
• Option B: During 1914, due to factors like British control of sea lanes and communication networks, it was easier for Americans to receive British - sourced news about the war, making this a valid influence.
• Option C: The US did have trade with Germany (though it would change later), so this statement is false.
