Question

beginning in 2001, one of the goals of the war in afghanistan was to
use force to seize oil supplies.
contain the spread of communism.
weaken the threat posed by al - qaeda.
remove saddam hussein from power.

Explanation:

The war in Afghanistan that began in 2001 was a response to the September 11 attacks, with the main goal of weakening the threat posed by al - Qaeda which was based in Afghanistan. Seizing oil supplies was not the main goal as Afghanistan is not a major oil - producing country. Communism was not a threat in 2001 as the Soviet Union had collapsed in 1991. Removing Saddam Hussein from power was the goal of the 2003 Iraq War, not the 2001 Afghanistan war.

Answer:

remove Saddam Hussein from power. (None of the above options are correct, but if we must choose the most relevant one to the Afghanistan war, the goal was to weaken the threat posed by al - Qaeda)
