Explanation:

Wilson's 1914 quote emphasizes U.S. neutrality, while his 1917 quote states neutrality is no longer feasible. This shows a shift in his opinion over time. Other options are incorrect: 1917 did not support neutrality, his opinion changed (not stayed the same), and 1914 had no mention of alliance with Germany.

His opinion changed over time.
