They point out that:

- it's good to have people who speak fluently more than one language ( can be used in international relations)
- bilingualism boosts cognitive development of individuals, studies show that non-native speakers of one language get better at it if they're not loosing contact with their own language (so teach both Spanish and English in southern US, not only English)

Rama09 [41]

These are the correct statements that describe the United States' movement from neutrality to engagement in World War I.

One of the main causes of the United States declaring war on Germany was the use of unrestricted submarine attacks.
President Wilson campaigned in the 1916 election with the slogan "He kept us out of war."
The United States began to support war against Germany after the Zimmerman telegram was intercepted.
The Zimmerman Telegram was from Germany to Mexico, promising them territory gained in the Mexican-American war if they allied with Germany.

Further details / historical context:

Prior to World War I, the United States had adopted a mostly isolationist view, not wanting to be involved in affairs across the ocean that were not directly related to our national security. When the war broke out, the United States did not impose a trade embargo on either side -- but American trade tended to be more with the Allies than with Germany. Similarly, President Wilson permitted loans to both sides, but loans to the Allies by 1917 were more than $2 billion, while American loans to Germany were only around $27 million.

Though Wilson campaigned in 1916 on the fact that he "kept us out of the war," by 1917 he and the nation were ready to go to war.

The reasons that led to US declaration of war:

In January, 1917, Germany had resumed its policy of unrestricted submarine warfare. Germany had halted its attacks on non-military vessels (which it suspected of carrying military supplies) after the furor over the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915. But now Germany was resuming attacks by its U-boats.
In February, 1917, the "Zimmerman Telegram" was intercepted by British intelligence and shared with the US. Germany's foreign minister, Arthur Zimmerman, had telegraphed an offer to Mexico's ambassador seeking Mexico's support in war vs. the United States in exchange for getting land back from the US.
On April 2, 1917, President Wilson made a powerful speech to Congress in which he argued that the nation needed to enter the war "to make the world safe for democracy." Wilson's speech was powerfully convincing, and four days later, Congress declared war.

MaRussiya [10]

Number of new immigrants around the turn of the twentieth century affected the number of acculturation programs in the United States as a large number of immigrants arrived, and they sought acculturation programs at settlement houses.

Further Explanation:-

The simple and standard account in respect to American immigration focuses more on the acculturation as well as assimilation of the Immigrants along with their children to the society of America.

These ends it endeavored to accomplish by a Federal Government, in which each State was recognized as an equal, and had separate control over its own institutions. The right of property in slaves was recognized by giving to free persons distinct political rights, by giving them the right to represent, and burthening them with direct taxes for three-fifths of their slaves; by authorizing the importation of slaves for twenty years; and by stipulating for the rendition of fugitives from labor.

Answer:

The people of the State of South Carolina, in Convention assembled, on the 26th day of April, A.D., 1852, declared that the frequent violations of the Constitution of the United States, by the Federal Government, and its encroachments upon the reserved rights of the States, fully justified this State in then withdrawing from the Federal Union; but in deference to the opinions and wishes of the other slaveholding States, she forbore at that time to exercise this right. Since that time, these encroachments have continued to increase, and further forbearance ceases to be a virtue.
