Answer 1

(b) Close diplomatic ties with Great Britain and France represents a break with George Washington's policies.

Explanation:

• George Washington served as the first president of United States Of America. He is regarded as one of the founding fathers of U.S.A and has been in power for two terms from 1789 to 1797.
• He strongly advocated for the national policy of isolationism and non-interference of U.S.A in the foreign affairs which lasted for about 2 centuries.
• Thus, the policy of holding close diplomatic ties with Great Britain and France in 1785 & 1778 represented a break with George Washington's policy who earlier had striven for isolationism and non-intervention.
