Explanation:

For question 9, historically the US has been involved in Latin - American affairs and has shown dominance in the Western Hemisphere, not isolationism. There is no indication of environmental protection or debt - paying in the context of the political cartoon. For question 10, the Great White Fleet's world tour was mainly to project US naval power, show its status as a major power in the Pacific, and display its military technology. It was not for attacking Japan, removing tariff barriers, forming an alliance with Japan against Russia, or acquiring new colonies.
