Read carefully.

Answer 2

I completely agree with your answer. As these two sites show, Jay's Treaty avoided another war between the U.S. and Britain. Although Washington lost popularity because of his reluctant support of the treaty, his decision not to run again had little to do with the treaty.

Answer 3

After reading Writeacher's answer, I can see how c. COULD be the right answer. However, the question is misleading as there are two possible answers - both c and d.
