Question

Below is the passage and answer choices..

Answer 1

According to East German authorities, the Berlin Wall was erected to protect the East German people. They believed (or at least claimed) that their people needed to be guarded from the wicked powers of Western capitalism. In August 1961, they used barbed wire to restrict passage between East and West Berlin. Then, only two days after the barbed wire went up, East German authorities had their own people begin construction on what would become known as the Berlin Wall. Its purpose was to permanently restrict East Germans' access to the West and all the decay and capitalism that went with it. It worked. The Berlin Wall stood for 28 years. It trapped East Germans inside the confines of their country, effectively cutting them off from Western influence.
