Answer 2

d. Protestors were encouraged to disagree with the U.S. government

Step-by-step explanation:

During World War I, freedom of speech was limited in many different places of the United States. The government believed that, if speech was not limited, many people would tend to disagree with the government. This could cause demotivation, making the war effort even harder. Some of the ways in which speech was restricted in Texas was by making criticism of the government a crime, firing professors who disagreed with the war effort, and dropping German from the high school curriculum.
