Answer 2

The correct answer here is the option A.

Even though the United States emerged from the World War I stronger than it was, the people and the politicians still favored the policy of isolationism as opposed to taking a bigger role in the world politics. The Neutrality Act reflected this as it served as an excuse for the US not to get dragged into another conflict.
