Napoleon’s continental system was a plan for
a) keeping british armies off the european continent
b) strengthening french relations with america
c) building ships to fight the british
d) blockading britain to keep british goods out of europe

i think its the outcome of people's preferences.

hello!

according to the passage the most suitable options are two. the first one is "by leading the aef to victory in several key battles" like the battle of saint- mihiel and the battle of cantigny mentioned in the passage you copied here. the second one is "by the aef and allied forces defeat germany" since the passage says that his army destroy the german resistance in the meuse- argonne offensive. and also, "by insisting that the aef operate as an independent force".

hope this
