a. sharply limited free speech when it implemented the Defense of the Realm Act.

Explanation:

The Defense of the Realm Act or DORA of 1914 was an authoritarian move that was issued four days after the First World War began. It gave the government more authoritarian powers that was characterized by such things as land requisitions for war purposes and social control mechanisms such as journalism censorship and limiting freedom of speech and movement. It was an intentional move to prevent invasion and keep alert during the war.
