Question

1. the purpose of containment was ____.

to promote communism
to promote federalism
to prevent the spread of communism
to contain the jews in israel

Explanation:

The containment policy was a U.S. foreign policy during the Cold War. Its main goal was to stop the spread of communism to other countries. Promoting communism (first option) goes against the policy. Promoting federalism (second option) is not related to containment's purpose. Containing Jews in Israel (fourth option) is irrelevant to the containment policy. So the correct choice is the one about preventing communism's spread.

Answer:

C. to prevent the spread of communism
