Explanation:

1. For the 1920s cause-and-effect question: Prohibition banned alcohol in the U.S., creating a black market that organized crime groups exploited for profit, leading to their rise. Other pairs are incorrect: U.S. borders were not fully closed, unions did not collapse, and WWI victory did not directly cause urban riots.
2. For the Cuban Missile Crisis question: President Kennedy ordered a naval blockade (called a "quarantine") around Cuba to prevent more Soviet missiles from arriving, avoiding direct military strikes that could escalate to nuclear war.
3. For the Korean Conflict question: The Korean War was a proxy war of the Cold War, with the U.S. supporting South Korea and the Soviet Union (alongside China) supporting North Korea, part of their broader ideological struggle.

Answer:

1. c. Prohibition and the rise of organized crime
2. d. By establishing a naval blockade around Cuba
3. a. the Soviet Union
