I mean A for number 6

To determine the reason for the United States' recognition of the government of Somalia in January 2013, we need to analyze the options given and choose the one that makes the most sense.

1. To show that the U.S. believes Somalia has completed its journey to democracy: This option suggests that the United States recognized Somalia because they believed the country had successfully transitioned to a democratic system of government. However, without additional information, it is difficult to determine if this was a reason for the U.S. action.

2. To make it impossible for Somalia to declare war on the U.S.: This option implies that the U.S. recognized Somalia to prevent the country from initiating hostilities against the United States. However, it is unlikely that the sole reason for recognition would be to prevent war.

3. To reward Somalia's progress and help it to continue on the path to democracy: This option suggests that the U.S. wanted to acknowledge Somalia's efforts in making progress towards becoming a democracy and to support their continued development in this direction. Recognizing a government can be seen as a form of encouragement and assistance, making this option a plausible reason for the U.S. recognition.

4. To pave the way for the signing of a treaty between the two countries: This option proposes that the recognition of Somalia was intended to lay the groundwork for a treaty between the United States and Somalia. However, without further information, it is difficult to confirm if this was the primary reason for recognition.

Based on the options provided, option 3 - to reward Somalia's progress and help it to continue on the path to democracy - seems to be the most logical reason for the United States' recognition of the government of Somalia in January 2013. Recognizing Somalia's progress and offering support would align with the U.S. goal of promoting democratic governance in countries worldwide.
