Question 11 • IC English 11 - Deering
Repeating the word “neutral” emphasizes the United States’ position before it entered the war: it tried to stay out of the conflict and avoid taking sides. This matches choice B, the stance taken by the United States in its attempt to remain isolated from World War I. The repetition does not primarily describe the author’s research methods or tell readers how they must judge the account.
