Explanation:

Question 1

The Arab - Israeli conflict has been a long - standing and defining issue in the Middle East since just after World War II. The Egyptian control of the Suez Canal was a specific event, not a defining long - term issue. Communism versus capitalism was more of a Cold War - era global ideological conflict, not specific to the Middle East's defining issue. Free trade is not a defining issue in the Middle East post - WWII.

Nationalist conflict in Haiti has not led to wars of religion (Haiti's main conflicts are not religious - based), nor political stability (nationalist conflicts tend to disrupt politics), and it has not led to expanded welfare programs. Instead, such conflicts have led to economic turmoil as resources are diverted, and there is instability in the business and economic environment.

During the Yom Kippur War, the United States increased arms supplies to Israel. There was no peace agreement between Syria and Israel as a result of the Yom Kippur War. The PLO's violence did not decrease because of this war. Also, Golda Meir was not assassinated; she resigned after the war.

Answer:

A. Arab - Israeli conflict
