Question

what influenced the way americans got news about the war in 1914?

a. the german press was not considered reliable.

b. there were many u.s. reporters in berlin.

c. british news was read more often than german news in the united states.

d. german news was read more often than british news in the united states.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The reliability of German press alone doesn't directly explain the way Americans got news (no info on alternative sources or prevalence of other news).
• Option B: Having many U.S. reporters in Berlin doesn't necessarily mean their reports were the main influence on how Americans got news (no info on how their reports were received or compared to others).
• Option C: If British news was read more often than German news in the US, this would influence the way Americans got news about the war (as they were more likely to consume British - sourced news).
• Option D: There's no historical context or evidence to suggest German news was more popular than British news in the US during 1914, and this goes against typical Anglo - American media connections at the time.

Answer:

C. British news was read more often than German news in the United States.
