The question is asking about a specific event in the post-World War I era that began as a U.S. government effort to stop the spread of a domestic issue. The options provided are:1. The Palmer Raids: These were a series of arrests in the 1920s by the United States Department of Justice under the administration of President Woodrow Wilson to capture, arrest and deport radical leftists, especially anarchists, from the United States. They were initiated by Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, and they were aimed at stopping the spread of communism and anarchism in the U.S.2. The passage of the Emergency Tariff Act: This was an act passed by the U.S. Congress in 1921 to raise American tariffs on imported goods to protect American farmers and manufacturers. It was not specifically aimed at stopping the spread of a domestic issue.3. The Scopes trial: Also known as the "Monkey Trial," it was a 1925 legal case in Dayton, Tennessee, where John T. Scopes was accused of violating Tennessee's Butler Act, which made it unlawful to teach human evolution in any state-funded school. It was not a government effort to stop the spread of a domestic issue.4. The passage of the Volstead Act: This was the enabling legislation for the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which established the prohibition of alcohol in the United States from 1920 to 1933. It was not specifically aimed at stopping the spread of a domestic issue.Given the options, the correct answer is the Palmer Raids, as they were specifically initiated by the U.S. government to stop the spread of communism and anarchism in the U.S. during the post-World War I era.
