Answer 2

The correct answer is B) It demonstrates William McKinley’s support for imperialism.

I have attached the cartoon for a better understanding.

The cartoon was created on May 12, 1900, by cartoonist Gillam F. Victor. Originally, the cartoon title said "Take your choice. Do you want a man who, having raised the stars and stripes on our new possessions...or a man who will cur down Old Glory?"

It compared both forms of thinking about the subject of US imperialism, funnily.
