Correct answers: a and d.

- a (Yes): The U.S. was protected by the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, so its industrial base and cities were not devastated as European powers’ were.
- d (Yes): The U.S. entered the war late and spent less time fighting on the continent, so it suffered far less physical and economic damage, allowing rapid postwar economic expansion.

- b (No): The U.S. did not necessarily have “the best” education system worldwide at that time, and education was not the primary reason for immediate postwar dominance.
- c (No): That option is false and nonsensical; food was not used as a weapon in the way described.
