Question

which statement supports the answer to part a?

○ \...armed to prevent border raids...\

○ \...i have ordered united states air and sea forces to give korean troops support.\

○ \...communism has passed beyond the use of subversion to conquer independent nations...\

○ \i know that all members of the united nations will carefully consider the consequences...\

Explanation:

To answer this, we need to assume the context of Part A (likely related to U.S. intervention in Korea, e.g., Truman's response to the Korean War). Let's analyze each option:

• Option 1: "…armed to prevent border raids…" – Border raids are not the main context of the Korean War's U.S. involvement.
• Option 2: "…I have ordered United States air and sea forces to give Korean troops support." – This directly shows U.S. military action to support Korea, which aligns with responses to the Korean War (supporting South Korea against North Korean/communist aggression).
• Option 3: "…communism has passed beyond the use of subversion to conquer independent nations…" – While about communism, it’s a broader statement, not direct support for a Korean-related answer.
• Option 4: "I know that all members of the United Nations will carefully consider the consequences…" – UN consideration is not direct support for U.S. action in Korea.

The correct option must support the answer to Part A (likely about U.S. intervention in Korea). Option 2 directly states U.S. military support for Korean troops, aligning with actions during the Korean War. Other options are either too broad, unrelated to direct support, or about UN considerations.

Answer:

B. "...I have ordered United States air and sea forces to give Korean troops support."
