Explanation:

First Question (Roosevelt’s “big stick” diplomacy)

To determine the correct option for Roosevelt’s “big stick” diplomacy, we analyze each choice:

• Option a: The table shows "Big Stick" (Roosevelt) "Relied on strong military", so this matches.
• Option b: The table says "Dollar" (Taft) aimed at American investment abroad, not "Big Stick".
• Option c: Conserving forests for lumber is not related to "big stick" diplomacy.
• Option d: Promoting human rights is part of "Moral" (Wilson) diplomacy, not "Big Stick".

To find the commonality of Big Stick, Dollar, and Moral diplomacy:

• Option a: Arms reduction is not mentioned in any of the three policies.
• Option b: International investment is only part of "Dollar" diplomacy, not all three.
• Option c: Spreading democratic ideals is mainly "Moral" diplomacy, not shared by all.
• Option d: Big Stick (military for US goals), Dollar (investment for US interests), Moral (promote ideals for US influence) all pursue American interests.

Answer:

a. depended on a strong military to achieve America’s goals.
