Question

which of the following is a limitation of using the excerpt to study the long-term influences on united states involvement overseas in the early 1900s? a the speech was delivered by roosevelt at a local state gathering b the speech was given during the period when this development occurred c the speech expressed support for westward expansion in north america d the speech expressed a desire to alter the cultures of american indians

Explanation:

A source from the exact time period of the event (U.S. overseas involvement in the early 1900s) cannot show long-term influences, as it does not reflect outcomes or impacts that emerged after the period. The other options do not address the limitation of studying long-term influences: a local gathering (A) does not negate its relevance to overseas policy, westward expansion (C) is unrelated to overseas involvement, and altering Indigenous cultures (D) also does not relate to the long-term overseas focus.

Answer:

B. The speech was given during the period when this development occurred
