Question

how did the united states demonstrate its isolationist policy before world war ii? by avoiding alliances and other international relationships by encouraging alliances and international relationships by avoiding friendships with other foreign countries by encouraging independence among states in the us

Explanation:

Isolationist policy means a country avoids getting involved in foreign alliances and international relations to focus on its own affairs. The US before WWII demonstrated isolationism by avoiding alliances and other international relationships. Encouraging alliances (option with "encouraging alliances") goes against isolationism. Avoiding friendships (option with "avoiding friendships") is not the main way isolationism was shown, as isolationism is about political/military alliances, not personal friendships. Encouraging independence among US states (last option) is irrelevant to foreign policy isolationism.

Answer:

A. by avoiding alliances and other international relationships
