Use the text below to answer the question.
Up until 1917, the United States was neutral in the war. This meant that they hadn't taken a
side and were not fighting. In fact, the Americans actually had been making a lot of money
selling weapons to both sides. In 1917, though, the German U-boats sank several American
ships in hopes of cutting off supplies to the British and French. This decision went very
wrong for the Germans. The United States declared war on Germany in April 1917. With
support from American troops and supplies, the tide began to turn, and the Allied Powers
began to win the war.

A
the United States remained neutral in the war.

the Americans made a lot of money selling weapons.
the United States declared war on Germany.
