Question

Which of the following best summarizes President Roosevelt's Big Stick Policy? *

A) With resolve and a powerful navy, the U.S. could defend its territory and avoid war.
B) The aggressive use of the U.S. Navy could help us take over foreign territories.
C) Aggressive talk about our enemies will prevent them from attacking the U.S.
D) We did not need to build up our navy to prevent invasions of the U.S.

Answer 1

Answer: I guess it should be OPTION A)

Explanation:

roosevelt believed that in reality, we lay equal emphasis on the fact that it is necessary to speak softly; in other words, that it is necessary to be respectful toward all people and scrupulously to refrain from wronging them, while at the same time keeping ourselves in condition to prevent wrong being done to us.

If a nation does not in this sense speak softly, then sooner or later the policy of the big stick is certain to result in war.

hope it helps. Cheers! :)
