Explanation:

Question 15

After World War I, the U.S. had a strong isolationist sentiment. The goal was to avoid getting involved in future global conflicts. Option a says "avoiding involvement in world affairs", which matches this sentiment. Option b (disbanding the League of Nations) was not the main way Americans sought to avoid war. Option c (excluding Germany from the League) was more about post - war treaty terms, not the main U.S. approach to avoiding future wars. Option d (forbidding Germany to rebuild armed forces) was part of the Treaty of Versailles, not the U.S. strategy to avoid future wars.

The "new morality" of the 1920s was associated with changing social norms, including more support for women's independence (like women's suffrage, changing roles in society). Option a (decrease in automobile use) is incorrect as the 1920s saw a boom in automobile use. Option b (increase in stay - at - home mothers) goes against the new morality's push for women's expanded roles. Option d (increase in traditional values in marriage) is also against the new morality which challenged traditional marital and gender norms. Option c (an increase in support for women’s independence) aligns with the new morality's focus on women's rights and changing social roles.

Answer:

a. avoiding involvement in world affairs
