To determine why Washington rejected the advice of both Jefferson and Hamilton and adopted a policy of neutrality, we can look for evidence in the text that supports the reasoning behind this decision. Let's examine each option and see which one aligns with the evidence.
A. The nation could not afford another war so soon after the Revolution.
- While this might have been a consideration, it is not explicitly mentioned in the question text.
B. Washington was timid about taking military action.
- There is no evidence in the text to suggest that Washington was timid about taking military action.
C. Washington feared that war would divide the nation.
- This is a possibility supported by historical context. The question text implies that Washington rejected the advice of both Jefferson and Hamilton, who had differing opinions on foreign policy. Washington, as a unifying figure, might have chosen neutrality to prevent divisions caused by taking sides in the conflicts of other nations.
D. Washington was upset over the murder of the French king.
- There is no evidence in the text that directly suggests Washington's decision was motivated by the murder of the French king.
Based on the evidence provided, option C - Washington feared that war would divide the nation - seems to be the most fitting explanation for why he adopted a policy of neutrality.
