Answer 1

The reason that the United States could no longer remain neutral during World War I was A. The German navy sunk ships that carried American sailors. One of the most significant events that led to the US entry into the war was the sinking of the British ocean liner RMS Lusitania by a German submarine in May 1915, which resulted in the deaths of 1,198 passengers and crew, including 128 Americans. This event, along with other instances of German aggression against American ships and interests, eventually led to the US declaring war on Germany in April 1917.
