Answer 8

Crap.

Answer 9

I think its "take control of the factories"

Answer 10

I'd probably go with "take control of the factories" which he actually followed through on once he and the Communists gained control over the government. The other reasons on the list don't make much sense considering what Lenin and his fellows railed against during the Revolution.

TuringTest is right on when saying that A and D don't make sense. "Give land to the rich" was certainly out. "Returning power to the tsars" was definitely not on their agenda when considering what happened to the Romanovs.

"expand Russian territory" would also be out. Under Tsar Nicholas II, Russia became involved in WW1 which was extremely unpopular and acted as a catalyst for Lenin's rise to power. The people didn't want war, they wanted a government that would provide for their needs and was effective.
