base your answers to questions 5 and 6 on the passage below and on your knowledge of social studies.... the great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations to have with them as little political connection as possible. so far as we have already formed engagements let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. here let us stop. europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or a very remote relation. hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. hence therefore it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by artificial ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes shifts of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships, or enmities hostilities. our detached and distant situation invites and enables us to pursue a different course. if we remain one people, under an efficient government, the period is not far off, when we may defy material injury from external annoyance; when we may take such an attitude as will cause the neutrality we may at any time resolve upon to be scrupulously completely respected; when belligerent nations, under the impossibility of making acquisitions upon us, will not lightly hazard the giving us provocation; when we may choose peace or war as our interest guided by justice shall counsel.... source: president george washington, farewell address, 1796 (adapted) 5 in this address, president george washington states that the united states can stay out of foreign entanglements because of its (1) ethnic diversity (2) well - established military (3) large industrial capacity (4) geographical location 6 based on this passage, president washington would urge the united states to avoid (1) trade agreements (2) permanent political alliances (3) foreign travel (4) industrial development

Explanation:

Question 5

To solve this, we analyze the passage. Washington says "Our detached and distant situation invites and enables us..." The "situation" here refers to geographical location (detached from Europe, distant). Ethnic diversity, military, or industrial capacity aren't mentioned as reasons. So the correct option is (4) geographical location.

The passage states "have with them as little political connection as possible" and "it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by artificial ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics...". This shows avoiding permanent political alliances. Trade agreements, foreign travel, or industrial development aren't the focus. So the correct option is (2) permanent political alliances.

Answer:

(4) geographical location
