Read the final paragraph of "How We Entered World War I." In April 1917 the illusion of isolation was destroyed. America came to the end of innocence, and of the exuberant freedom of bachelor independence. That the responsibilities of world power have not made us happier is no surprise. To help ourselves manage them, we have replaced the illusion of isolation with a new illusion of omnipotence. That screen, too, must fall.

Which best explains the purpose of repeating the word “illusion” in the paragraph?
to emphasize that the United States was never completely isolationist nor will it ever be all powerful
to mock the United States’ reasons for becoming involved in World War I
to highlight the fact that Wilson based his decisions on false ideas
to demonstrate that the United States’ sense of strength is a complete falsehood

can you give me a hint

the dog listens to mr miller

question:

write a 1500-word historical investigation report. use exposition, narration, description, argumentation or some combination writing to support the main proposition. you will give this report orally.

there's many interesting events that have occurred over the course of humanity's existence. off the top of my head, you could discuss the cold war; the world wars (1 & 2); american civil rights movements; the russian or french revolutions. world war ii has ended. you are the leader of a great superpower—one of two   in the world. to keep the balance of power in your nation’s favor, you want to   gain as many allies as possible. you are particularly interested in gaining the   support of nations in africa, asia, and central and south america who do not   yet favor either superpower.   you call your advisers together to develop policies for making uncommin.

hope this !
