Explanation:

Question 1

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a: The forced famine in Ukraine (Holodomor) happened later, not a cause of the 1917 revolution.
• Option b: The czar did come to Serbia’s aid (for WWI), so this is incorrect.
• Option c: During WWI, Russia faced shortages of military supplies and food, which contributed to unrest and the revolution. This is correct.
• Option d: Lenin’s NEP was established after the revolution, so it can’t be a cause.
• Option e: Trench warfare on the Western Front wasn’t a direct cause of the Russian revolution.

Analyze each option:

• Option a: There were many revolutions in the 20th century after 1917 (e.g., Chinese, Cuban), so this is wrong.
• Option b: After the Bolshevik Revolution, Russia (USSR) became the first communist - governed nation. This is a major turning point.
• Option c: The USSR remained a major world power, so this is incorrect.
• Option d: The revolution was not peaceful; it involved conflict (e.g., civil war), so this is wrong.

Recall Bolshevik slogans:

• Option a: “An Eye for an Eye” is not a Bolshevik slogan.
• Option b: “Peace, Land, and Bread” was a key Bolshevik slogan, appealing to soldiers (peace), peasants (land), and workers (bread).
• Option c: “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” is a French Revolution slogan.
• Option d: “Take up the White Man’s Burden” is a colonial - era slogan, not Bolshevik.

Answer:

c. a shortage of military supplies and food during World War I
