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

at liberty to do it; for let me not be understood as capable of patronizing infidelity to existing engagements. 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

(1) the destiny of the United States was to rule other countries
(2) the United States should seek alliances with other nations

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.
