Question

part b
which phrase from lenin’s statement best supports the answer to part a?
a. “...if that nation, contrary to its expressed desire, ... is not given the right to determine the form of its state... would be the greatest crime against humanity.”
b. “the presence of the troops of the annexing or stronger state...”
c. “if any nation whatsoever is detained by force within the boundaries of a certain state...”
d. “the government considers that to continue this war simply to decide how to divide...”

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to assume the answer to Part A (likely related to opposing the war for territorial gain or supporting self - determination). Option D's phrase "The government considers that to continue this war simply to decide how to divide..." implies opposition to continuing the war for the sake of territorial division, which would support an answer in Part A about opposing such motives. Other options: A is about self - determination but not directly about the war's purpose, B is about troop presence, C is about forced detention, not the war's purpose.

To solve this, we analyze the options. Option D's phrase relates to opposing continuing the war for territorial division, which would support a Part A answer about opposing such motives. Other options focus on self - determination (A), troop presence (B), or forced detention (C), not the war's purpose.

Answer:

D. "The government considers that to continue this war simply to decide how to divide..."
