question 8 of 10
what happened as a result of the british naval blockade?

a. italy began to sink passenger ships.

b. u.s. trade with france mostly ended.

c. germany ended its alliance with the central powers.

d. u.s. trade with the central powers mostly ended.

Explanation:

The British naval blockade during World War I aimed to cut off supplies to the Central Powers (Germany, Austria - Hungary, etc.). As a result, the United States' trade with the Central Powers was largely disrupted and mostly ended. Option A is incorrect as Italy was part of the Allies later and not known for sinking passenger ships due to the British blockade. Option B is wrong because the British blockade was against the Central Powers, not to end US - France trade. Option C is incorrect as Germany was a key part of the Central Powers and did not end its alliance with them due to the British blockade.

Answer:

D. U.S. trade with the Central Powers mostly ended.
