Question 7 • US History

Answer
A
the Neutrality Acts
B
the cash-and-carry amendment
C
the Lend-Lease Act
D
the Destroyers for Bases agreement

Explanation

The Lend-Lease Act, passed in 1941, allowed the United States to supply weapons and other aid to countries fighting the Axis powers without requiring immediate payment. This challenged the policy of neutrality and drew strong debate over whether the U.S. was moving toward involvement in the war. Therefore, the correct choice is the Lend-Lease Act.
