Which statements are supported by this newspaper headline? Check all that apply.

Serbia declared war on Austria.
Russia had mobilized its forces.
Germany was the only nation that could stop the conflict.
The United States would likely be drawn into war.
Many nations were threatened by the coming conflict.

Answer 1

Supported:
- Russia had mobilized its forces. ("Russia threatens, already moving troops" says Russia was already moving troops.)
- Many nations were threatened by the coming conflict. (Reference to the "peace of Europe" being at stake implies a threat to multiple European nations.)

Not supported:
- Serbia declared war on Austria. (The headline says Austria declared war on Serbia.)
- Germany was the only nation that could stop the conflict. (The headline says the matter was "in the Kaiser's hands," implying German influence, but it does not state that Germany was the sole power able to stop the war.)
- The United States would likely be drawn into war. (The headline makes no mention of the United States.)
