Explanation:

Question 1

The League of Nations rejection, high tariffs (Fordney - McCumber Act), and Emergency Quota Act in the early 1920s were actions of the U.S. to stay out of global affairs, which is isolationism. Militarism is about building military, imperialism about expanding influence, internationalism about global cooperation. So the answer is B.

Demobilization after WWI (soldiers returning to civilian life, industries shifting) affected unemployment. 1920 - 1921 saw unemployment rise. "Red Scare" was about fear of communism, Emergency Quota Act about immigration, Russian Civil War victory not directly U.S. unemployment. So cause is demobilization effects.

The newspapers talk about strikes, rising prices, anti - communist actions (Bombs to Address Businessmen, Bolshevik victories). The Red Scare was a period of fear of communism, with labor unrest and anti - radical actions. Cold War was later, Prohibition about alcohol, Great Migration about African - American movement. So it's Red Scare.

Answer:

B. Increasing isolationism
