Accepted Answer

To solve question 21, we analyze each option based on the context of the home front during and after WWI:

- Option A: The excerpt doesn't focus on discrimination against African Americans in Northern/Western cities. Eliminate.
- Option B: Middle - class reformers' efforts to improve urban working - class conditions aren't the focus of the excerpt. Eliminate.
- Option C: The excerpt (from Wilson's speech) shows the US moving from non - involvement (isolationist) foreign policy. Wilson advocates for the League of Nations, which means the US is departing from non - involvement to defend democracy (through collective security). This matches.
- Option D: The excerpt has no relation to restrictions on freedom of speech due to political radicalism anxieties. Eliminate.

# Answer:
C. The United States departed from its foreign policy of noninvolvement in order to defend democracy
