Explanation:

Question 1

To determine the assassination that sparked WWI, we recall historical facts. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 triggered the chain of events leading to WWI. Lincoln's assassination was related to the US Civil War, McKinley's to US politics, and Empress Elizabeth's was not WWI - related.

In WWI, the Western Front (in Europe) was characterized by trench warfare. Naval battles around Britain, air combat over France, and African/Asian battlefields were not the primary or most extensive fighting areas. Trench warfare in Europe was the main form of land combat.

WWI was a modern industrial war. Factory production was crucial for making weapons (like machine guns, artillery, etc.) needed for warfare. Soldiers' pay, unemployment, or civilian consumption were not the main reasons for factory production's importance in the war.

Answer:

B. The assassination of Franz Ferdinand
