Question

read the paragraph from \wilsons war message to congress.\
neutrality is no longer feasible or desirable where the peace of the world is involved and the freedom of its peoples, and the menace to that peace and freedom lies in the existence of autocratic governments backed by organized force which is controlled wholly by their will, not by the will of their people. we have seen the last of neutrality in such circumstances.
which statement best describes the main idea of the paragraph?
our country can no longer refuse involvement because it cannot allow peace and freedom to be at risk
the peace of the world is based on the ability to remain neutral in the fight for freedom
we have a responsibility to remain neutral and uphold the principles of freedom
the country cannot remain neutral because it is no longer the will of the people

Explanation:

The paragraph from Wilson's War Message states that neutrality is no longer feasible or desirable when world peace and people's freedom are at stake (due to autocratic governments). Option A matches this by saying the country can't refuse involvement to protect peace and freedom. Other options are incorrect: Option B says peace is based on neutrality (opposite of the paragraph), Option C advocates remaining neutral (contradicts the text), Option D claims neutrality isn't the people's will (the paragraph's menace is autocratic governments, not people's will about neutrality).

Answer:

A. Our country can no longer refuse involvement because it cannot allow peace and freedom to be at risk
