Question

1. the illustration above is an example of how yellow journalism created a ______ among media outlets which helped to promote imperialist ______.

Explanation:

Answer:

competition; policies (or ambitions, interests - contextually, "imperialist policies" or "imperialist ambitions" fit, but the first blank is "competition" as yellow journalism led to media outlets competing, and the second relates to imperialist goals like expansion, so "policies" or similar terms. The standard answer here is likely "competition" for the first blank and "policies" (or "ambitions", "interests") for the second, but based on historical context of yellow journalism and imperialism, the blanks are filled with "competition" and "policies" (or "objectives", "endeavors" - but most accurately, first blank: competition, second blank: policies (or expansion, but "policies" is common here)). So the answers are "competition" and "policies" (or other context - appropriate terms for the second blank like "ambitions", "interests", "expansion").
