Answer 1

Based on the information in the excerpt, the inferences that can be made about the effect of the war between France and England on the United States are:

1. The attacks on American shipping vessels led to a build-up of an American naval force.
2. The unwillingness of the French to negotiate brought about a time period of distrust of the French Directory.

The other two options regarding Congress's inability to function due to political disagreements and the war convincing the United States not to trade with Europe are not directly supported by the information provided in the excerpt.
