the us economy was suffering because germany stopped trading with the us.

Explanation:

1. Analyze each option:

• "The US was afraid of Germany’s expansion of nuclear weapons" is incorrect as nuclear weapons were not a factor in WWI.
• "Germany was trying to get Mexico to fight the United States in the war" (Zimmermann Telegram) was a key reason.
• "Washington's Farewell Address urged Americans to become involved in European affairs" is wrong; it urged neutrality in foreign affairs.
• "Germany sank many American merchant ships around the British Isles" (unrestricted submarine warfare) was a major reason.
• "The US economy was suffering because Germany stopped trading with the US" is incorrect; US trade with Allies was significant, and German U - boat attacks on US ships (not trade stoppage) affected the economy - related decision.

1. Identify the two correct reasons from the analysis.

Answer:

B. Germany was trying to get Mexico to fight the United States in the war.
