Explanation:

Question 7

During WWI, while neutral, the US sold arms and ammo to both sides for profit. Option b is wrong (US didn't secretly send troops initially), c is wrong (US didn't support Central Powers), d is wrong (Spain's neutrality wasn't due to US convincing). So a is correct.

European troops were exhausted from years of fighting. American troops were fresh (not worn down), so they made a difference. Option a: US troops weren't better trained. c: Weapons weren't better. d: Subjective, not factual. So b is correct.

WWI tensions rose from alliance web (pulled countries in), colonial conflict, and militarism (army/navy build - up). So all (a, b, c) contributed, making d correct.

Answer:

a. Sold arms and ammunition to both sides
