Question

according to the text, which of the following best describes the result of protests against the vietnam war? a north vietnam used chemical bombing to attack the u.s. so nixon withdrew troops. b women were drafted in the war because men violently rioted outside military offices. c president nixon removed american troops from vietnam after several years of protest. d college students were afraid of getting arrested, so they stopped burning their draft cards.

Explanation:

• Option A: North Vietnam's chemical bombing (like Agent Orange) was for warfare, not directly causing Nixon to withdraw troops due to that; protests were a bigger factor for troop withdrawal. So A is incorrect.
• Option B: Women were not drafted in the Vietnam War (the draft was for men), and men's protests weren't about drafting women. So B is incorrect.
• Option C: The Vietnam War protests (including anti - war movements, draft resistance, etc.) lasted for years, and President Nixon did begin the process of withdrawing American troops from Vietnam, partly due to the pressure from these protests. This matches historical facts.
• Option D: College students burned draft cards as an act of protest against the draft and the war, and fear of arrest wouldn't be the reason to stop; in fact, many continued despite risks. So D is incorrect.

Answer:

C. President Nixon removed American troops from Vietnam after several years of protest.
