Use the excerpt from an article about the destruction of the U. S.S. Maine published in The San Francisco Call on March 3, 1898 to
answer the question. Though no official information has been received from the court of inquiry as to the character of evidence it has obtained, and though none is expected until the final report is prepared, the belief in administration circles that the Maine was destroyed by an external explosion continues to gain strength.

What is Mark Twain's point of view in this quotation?
O A The U. S. should remain an ally to the Filipinos while they set up their
new government
OB. The U. S. should not get involved in other nations' affairs unless clear
goals and objectives are in place.
O C. Removing the Spanish from the Philippines was supposed to help the Filipinos set up their own government.
OD. The U. S. should not have removed the Spanish because now it cannot get out of its responsibilities in the Philippines.
