    • Nationalism

    • Imperialism

    • Alliances

    • Patriotism

    Correct Answer
    A. Imperialism
    Explanation
    Imperialism refers to the act of a nation taking over and maintaining control of another nation with the intention of expanding its empire. This often involves the domination and exploitation of the conquered nation for economic, political, or strategic purposes. Imperialist powers seek to exert their influence and control over other territories, often through military force or political manipulation. Nationalism, on the other hand, refers to the loyalty and devotion to one's own nation, while alliances involve agreements and partnerships between nations. Patriotism is the love and support for one's own country.

    • Nationalism

    Correct Answer
    A. Alliances
    Explanation
    The word "alliances" means an agreement among nations to support each other in times of conflict or war. This is similar to the phrase "I got your back" which implies a sense of support and solidarity. Unhealthy friendships, on the other hand, may not have this level of trust and support. Therefore, the word "alliances" best fits the given context.

    The Schlieffen Plan was a military strategy developed by Germany in early 1914. It was named after its creator, General Alfred von Schlieffen. The plan aimed to quickly defeat France in the west before turning east to fight against Russia. It involved a rapid and massive invasion through Belgium, with the goal of encircling and capturing Paris. The plan ultimately failed, as Germany was unable to achieve a quick victory and ended up getting bogged down in a prolonged war on the Western Front.

    • Militarism

    • Assassination of Archduke Ferdinand

    Correct Answer
    A. Assassination of Archduke Ferdinand
    Explanation
    The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand was the immediate trigger for the start of World War I, but it is not considered one of the main causes of the war. The main causes are generally identified as nationalism, militarism, and alliances. Nationalism refers to the intense pride and loyalty towards one's own nation, which can lead to conflicts between nations. Militarism is the belief in the importance of a strong military and the glorification of war. Alliances were formed between different countries, which created a complex web of obligations and commitments that escalated the conflict.

    Which group of passengers had the least chance of survival after the ship began to sink?

    • First class passengers

    • Second class passengers

    • Steerage passengers- third class

    • No survivors were found

    Correct Answer
    A. Steerage passengers- third class
    Explanation
    The steerage passengers, also known as the third class passengers, had the least chance of survival after the ship began to sink. This can be attributed to various factors such as their location on the ship, limited access to lifeboats, and potentially slower response time compared to the first and second class passengers. Additionally, there were reports of discrimination and prioritization of the upper-class passengers during the evacuation process, further reducing the chances of survival for the steerage passengers.

    • Ship owned by White Star Line- carried 2,223 passengers
