which headline related to the spanish - american war is an example of yellow journalism?
\president mckinley asks congress for war declaration against spain\
\united states mobilizes for war with spain\
\united states demands response to spanish actions\
\spanish troops slaughter innocent cuban citizens\

Explanation:

Yellow journalism is characterized by sensationalized and often exaggerated reporting. The headline "Spanish Troops Slaughter Innocent Cuban Citizens" uses the highly emotive word "slaughter" to create a dramatic and potentially exaggerated portrayal of events, which aligns with the tactics of yellow journalism. The other headlines ("President McKinley Asks Congress for War Declaration Against Spain", "United States Mobilizes for War with Spain", "United States Demands Response to Spanish Actions") are more factual and less sensational in their language.

Answer:

"Spanish Troops Slaughter Innocent Cuban Citizens"
