During the administration of president Warren G. Harding, The Red Scare--the public fears of communists and anarchists--was widespread. The previous administration had tried to deal with it by conducting the Palmer Raids, an attempt to find and capture communists and anarchists. Even though about 3,000 people were arrested during those raids, it did not stop the Red Scare from growing.

Harding was elected with the promise of restoring normalcy to the country. At the time, despite the controversies during his administration, he was very popular. Perhaps because of his past as a publisher and newspaper editor, he also had a great relationship with the press. Among other actions, such as staying away from international affairs and lowering taxes, he was giving news conferences regularly. So by using propaganda to convince the public that everything was under control, Harding was able to restore some of the normalcy he had promised.

Explanation:

The foreign policy adopted by the US after WWI was isolationism.

In the wake of the Great Depression and disillusioned with the effects of WWI, the US was moved to step back from giving any opinion in public affairs.

Congress passed the isolationism acts after WWI. Under this, they decided not to involve in any European and Asian matters. The US decided to untangle its political ties after WWI. With the nation being affected by the Great Depression and the losses that occurred during the war, the US took a foreign policy role called isolationism. Thus option A is correct.

Explain one way in which the government has taken action to improve health since 1900

mojhsa [17]

You should look up Progressivism. Progressivists dealt with a lot of reforms in the early 1900s.
Alternatively, try looking up “US health bills since 1900.” If you need a starting point, look up the Pure Food and Drug Act/Meat Inspection Act (both in 1906) and Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle,” which had a particularly large impact on meat inspection.
