Read the final paragraph of "How We Entered World War I." In April 1917 the illusion of isolation was destroyed. America came to the end of innocence, and of the exuberant freedom of bachelor independence. That the responsibilities of world power have not made us happier is no surprise. To help ourselves manage them, we have replaced the illusion of isolation with a new illusion of omnipotence. That screen, too, must fall.

Which best explains the purpose of repeating the word “illusion” in the paragraph?
to emphasize that the United States was never completely isolationist nor will it ever be all powerful
to mock the United States’ reasons for becoming involved in World War I
to highlight the fact that Wilson based his decisions on false ideas
to demonstrate that the United States’ sense of strength is a complete falsehood

where is the sentence at?

well stockyards mean a large yard containing pens and sheds, typically adjacent to a slaughterhouse, in which livestock is kept and sorted. and i'm assuming that by party you   mean a large group of people which does make sense because chicago is a very crowded place much like new york. stockyards tend to take up a lot of room due to needing the area for pens to keep animals in and the fact that stockyards are usually right by slaughterhouse where they process and distribute the product. so its much like a zoo but with some dead animal products close by.

i'm on the same lesson : / i really don't want to do it..
