Answer 2

The correct answers are:

• "Its purpose was to act as a forum for solving international problems": Its main goal was to avoid conflicts between nations, as they have previously proved to be costly.

• "President Woodrow Wilson proposed its formation in his Fourteen Points.": During his address in Congress on January 8th, 1918, President Wilson suggested the creation of this intergovernmental organization.

• "The US Congress never ratified its charter.": Despite Wilson efforts to promote the League, US Congress would never ratify the proposal and the United States never effectively joined.
