Explanation:

Analyze the first question

The first question asks for the term that describes "The involvement of a foreign power in the affairs of another nation, typically to achieve the stronger power's aims."

• intervention: This term specifically refers to the act of a nation interfering in the domestic affairs of another sovereign state.
• imperialism: This is a broader policy of extending a country's power and influence through diplomacy or military force, often involving territorial acquisition or establishing economic/political dominance.
• isolationism: This is a policy of remaining apart from the affairs or interests of other groups, especially the political affairs of other countries.
• expansionism: This is a policy of territorial or economic expansion.

While "imperialism" and "expansionism" are related to a nation's broader goals, the direct, specific act of getting involved in another nation's internal affairs is defined as intervention.

Analyze the second question

The second question asks: "What was the purpose of Theodore Roosevelt's Great White Fleet?"

• To force Spain to give up Cuba: This was associated with the Spanish-American War (1898), which occurred before Theodore Roosevelt's presidency and the launch of the fleet.
• To demonstrate U.S. naval power: Theodore Roosevelt sent sixteen newly constructed battleships of the US Navy on a journey around the world from December 16, 1907, to February 22, 1909. The primary purpose was to showcase America's growing military power and blue-water naval capability to the world, particularly to Japan.
• To conquer the Hawaiian Islands: Hawaii was annexed by the United States in 1898, well before the fleet's journey.
• To stop piracy in the Atlantic Ocean: This was not the purpose of this grand diplomatic and military demonstration.

Therefore, the correct option is To demonstrate U.S. naval power.
