select the correct text in the passage.
which sentence best explains the united states willingness to compromise on their human rights agenda when it helped meet its cold war interests?
although salvador allende was freely elected by the people of chile, the united states feared that his marxist views would pose a threat to democracy in the region. as a result, the united states actively worked to destabilize chiles economy and to foster resentment against allende. this led to the coup of 1973, during which general augusto pinochet came to power. pinochet was responsible for the deaths or disappearances of more than 3000 of his political opponents. the united states maintained political and financial ties with chile throughout pinochets regime.

Answer:

The United States maintained political and financial ties with Chile throughout Pinochet's regime.
