Answer:
A. He was a U.S. senator for 38 years.
Explanation:
Richard Brevard Russell was an American politician who achieved a lot during his lifetime. He was actively involved in the political scene till his death, dying while still in office.
He became the <em>Governor of the state of Georgia in 1931 till 1933</em>.
He also brought forth the <em>National School Lunch Act, acting as its chief sponsor.</em>
He also became a senator in the <em>United States Senate as a democrat, starting office on November 8, 1932</em>, and getting reelected in 1936, 42, 48, 54, 60 and 66, thus serving from January 12 1933 till his death in January 21, 1971.
Thus, the statement that is true about Richard B. Russell is that he served as a U.S. Senate for almost 40 years, 38 years to be exact.
I believe 1 and 4 are incorrect. 4 is quite ridiculous, England won the war and had no reason whatsoever to cede colonies to the Germans. 1 is debatable, but the general consensus is that the Americans joined less to fight the "enemy over there" but rather because they felt threatened by Germany's potential alliance with a powerful Mexico and because of Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare. That said, one could argue that 1, in this case, is correct.
I believe 2 and 3 are correct. The United States did join the League of Nations after the war to prevent another conflict and promote peace (that didn't work too well). The League of Nations of the past could be compared to the United Nations of today. The American troops that arrived in Europe in the year of 1918 did indeed help stem the German advance. At some points arriving at a rate of 10 000 a day, the fresh American troops pretty much were able to swarm the war-weary Germans and kill more than the Germans could replace.
Wilson had a direct approach to problems while Roosevelt had an indirect approach, both of them had the same agenda regarding cartels but they had different ways of solving the problem.
Roosevelt defended natural resources putting them on federal protection and, safeguarded laborers rights.
Wilson focused mainly on the Triple Wall of Privilege, it meant that he would attack tariffs, banks, and trusts. Different from Roosevelt, Wilson didn’t distinguish good trusts from bad trusts, he was against any trust.
