Question

The goal of America's containment policy was to A. make all beverage containers out of recyclable material B. stop communist expansion C. contain the spread of pollution D. stop Hitler from conquering the world

Answer 1

We can step through the different options on this one, too.

Okay, (A) sounds a little too farfetched, so that's out although recycling is a good idea anyway. (C) isn't right, either, because the US has other rules and regulations that try to do the same thing, but aren't considered part of the "containment" the question is asking about. (D) is also out because when containment was being practiced, Hitler was long dead.

So that leaves only (B). Containment was the US policy of trying to "contain" the spread of communism through alliances with nations, spy work, and sometimes by direct intervention during what would become the Cold War.

Answer 2

i agree it should be b.
