It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world; so far, I mean, as we are now

I hold the maxim [principle] no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always the best policy. I repeat it, therefore, let those engagements be observed in their genuine sense. But, in my opinion, it is unnecessary and would be unwise to extend them....
— President George Washington, Farewell Address, 1796

Answer:

Right choice:

(3) Alliances could draw the United States into wars.

Explanation:

Since its inception, the American republic was wary of distant foreign entanglements, especially in Europe. That was the feeling of a majority in society in different times. Those attitudes changed in the 20th century, only after WWII. In the first decade of the American government of Washington, there were debates and the temptation to side with France or Britain in their contemporary wars. Washington decided to stay neutral because he knew the US was not strong enough to fight war.

In North America, temperatures get warmer towards the north.<br> True or false
Ugo [173]

Answer: False

Explanation:

As one approaches the North Pole, temperatures get colder and this is why countries like Iceland and Sweden are so cold.

This is the same in North America. North America is already north of the Equator so it is closer to the North Pole. As one goes further north therefore, they would be be getting closer to the North Pole and temperatures will get colder.

This is why Canada is so cold and the northern areas of the United States experiences such harsh winters.
