Question

Read this passage about Germany's role in World War 1:

The defeated Germans must pay for the damages World
War I brought to the rest of Europe. If Germany had never
tried to establish its own colonial empire to challenge
Great Britain, tensions wouldn't have been so high in the
years leading up to the war. Furthermore, if the Germans
had not formed military alliances with powerful empires,
the war might not have been as bloody
Which statement most accurately describes the bias found in the passage?
A. The author believes Germany should be wiped out entirely due to
World War I
B. The author argues that Germany's colonial empire may have
created tensions
c. The author assumes that Germany would only form alliances with
powerful empires
D. The author ignores other countries' contributions to the start of
World War

Answer 1

D.

Explanation: Although Germany (arguably) faced the brunt of reparations as a result of Versailles, Austria-Hungary, Serbia, Russia, and France all contributed to the outbreak of wholesale war as well.
