D) the lack of Prohibition

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. The United States wanted to return to a normal state of affairs after the war.

Answer 2

The correct answer is A) A return to a normal state of affairs.

The United States, after World War I, wanted to return to their policy of isolationism in terms of foreign affairs. The overseas war was expensive and cost many American lives. With this in mind, presidential nominee Warren G Harding promised American citizens "a return to normalcy." This was one of his campaign promises, ultimately helping him to have success in winning the presidency.
