question 4 of 10
how did golda meir contribute to the development of an independent israel?

a. she launched a nonviolent revolution against european
colonialism in palestine.

b. she formed an alliance with egypt that helped protect israel from
foreign attacks.

c. she negotiated with the british to encourage increased jewish
immigration to israel.

d. she fought for rights of jews and muslims against british political
oppression.

Explanation:

Golda Meir was a key figure in pre-state Israel. She worked to negotiate with British authorities (who controlled Palestine under a mandate) to allow more Jewish immigration to the region, which was critical for building the population and infrastructure that supported the eventual establishment of independent Israel. Option A is incorrect as she did not launch a nonviolent revolution; other groups led armed and civil resistance. Option B is incorrect because Egypt was an adversary, not an ally, in Israel's early years. Option D is incorrect as her focus was on Jewish rights and the establishment of a Jewish state, not joint rights for Jews and Muslims against Britain.

Answer:

C. She negotiated with the British to encourage increased Jewish immigration to Israel.
