In “Enemies from Within,” which detail best supports the idea that the influence of communism is growing?
A)In my opinion, the State Department, which is one of the most important government departments, is thoroughly infested with communists.
B)Gustave Duran, who was labeled as, I quote, “a notorious international communist,” was made assistant secretary of state in charge of Latin American affairs. He was taken into the State Department from his job as a lieutenant colonel in the Communist International Brigade.
C)“We are living,” said Lenin, “not merely in a state but in a system of states, and the existence of the Soviet Republic side by side with Christian states for a long time is unthinkable. One or the other must triumph in the end.”
D)Today, only six years later, there are 800 million people under the absolute domination of Soviet Russia—an increase of over 400 percent.
I believe it is b
The answer is (D), "Today, only six years later, there are 800 million people under the absolute domination of Soviet Russia—an increase of over 400 percent."
I can vouch it's D 100% i took the test
I agree.
wrong or right?
was it correct?
then whats the answer?
The State department wasn't overrun by "communists", i doubt Duran was actually a communist (just because someone is left leaning doesn't make them communist), Lenin kinda sucked, and yes, Soviet Russia did dominate the people, but they weren't communist either. Please. Seriously. Read Marx.
Yes, you are correct. Detail B supports the idea that the influence of communism is growing.
To arrive at this answer, you need to analyze each option and determine which one directly supports the growth of communism. Option B provides evidence that a person with a communist background and affiliation was given a high-ranking position within the State Department. This suggests that the influence of communism is spreading within the government, thus supporting the idea that communism is growing.
Option A expresses someone's opinion about the State Department being infested with communists, but it does not provide concrete evidence or examples.
Option C is a quote from Lenin, discussing the coexistence of the Soviet Republic and Christian states but does not directly address the growth of communism.
Option D mentions the increase in the population under the domination of Soviet Russia but does not specifically relate to the growth of communist influence.
Therefore, from the given options, option B is the best choice, as it provides a specific example of a communist being placed in a position of power within the State Department.
