Answer:

1- The correct answer is A. The event that helped bring the United States into World War I was the sinking of the Lusitania by Germany.

2- The correct answer is C. Women's suffrage was not a change called for by Woodrow Wilson's fourteen points.

Step-by-step explanation:

1- The sinking of RMS Lusitania, which occurred off the coast of Ireland on May 7, 1915 due to the attack of a German submarine, was one of the greatest naval disasters to have occurred to a line ship during World War I.

The Lusitania was identified and torpedoed by a German submarine and sank in 18 minutes, near the Cape of Old Head of Kinsale, killing 1,198 people and leaving 761 survivors. The sinking made public opinion in many countries opposed mainly to Germany, contributing to the United States' entry into the war.

2- The Fourteen Points were a series of proposals made on January 8, 1918 by President Woodrow Wilson to create new moral objectives for the Triple Entente, which could serve as a basis for peace negotiations with the Central Empires.

As women's suffrage was not an internationally relevant issue at that time, it was not included in the Fourteen Points.
