Question

a period of relaxed tension between two opposing sides that still disagree is known as . appeasement détente proxy disarmament

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each term:

• Appeasement: Involves satisfying demands to avoid conflict, not just relaxed tension.
• Détente: Specifically refers to a period of relaxed tension between opposing sides (even with disagreements), common in political/historical contexts (e.g., Cold War détente).
• Proxy: Relates to acting on behalf of others, not tension relaxation.
• Disarmament: Focuses on reducing weapons, not tension between sides.

So "détente" matches the definition.

Answer:

B. détente (assuming the options are labeled A - D with A: appeasement, B: détente, C: proxy, D: disarmament)
