c. advertising convinced consumers to turn away from european
goods.

d. advertising convinced consumers that they needed new products.

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Focuses on Americans' wariness of advertisers' claims, which doesn't relate to the US's role in the world economy. Eliminate.
• Option B: Advertising creating overseas markets by inventing new uses for American products directly impacts the US's role in the world economy by expanding its market reach globally. This is relevant.
• Option C: Convincing consumers to turn away from European goods doesn't explain how the US's role in the world economy is affected (it's more about consumer preferences over imports, not US exports/global economic role). Eliminate.
• Option D: Convincing consumers they need new products is about domestic consumption, not the US's global economic role. Eliminate.

Answer:

B. Advertising created overseas markets by inventing new uses for American products.
