Question

president taft differed from president roosevelt in foreign policy by using:
a. fewer troops.
b. more blockades.
c. fewer loans.
d. more boycotts.

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the foreign policies of Taft and Roosevelt. Roosevelt used "Big Stick" diplomacy (relying on military power), while Taft used "Dollar Diplomacy" and relied less on military force (fewer troops). Blockades (B), fewer loans (C, Taft encouraged loans), and boycotts (D) don't fit Taft's policy. So A is correct.

Answer:

A. Fewer troops.
