Answer 1

The correct answer is a. the committee on public information

They would often talk about the dangers of World War 1 which was really important considering that the majority of the population was against having the US involved in the war.

Answer 2

The correct option is (A) Committee on Public Information.

Further explanation:

It was a government agency that was established during World War I. The aim of the committee was to distribute information intended to influence the opinion of people so that they can be inspired in the support for the entry of America in the war.

The organization was basically a federal government’s propaganda arm and it was presented to the public and Congress, in which Congress was considered as a ‘reasonable alternative’ to ‘government censorship’ of war news.

The main key takeaways of the committee are as follows:

1. The agency was formed to persuade the American public’s necessity of the U.S.A entering into the war.
2. Congress and the public believed that it is the responsibility of the committee to ensure ‘no censorship’ of the press.
3. It provided ten thousand speakers, arranged all the events to promote the war, published booklets and created posters.
