Answer 3

The correct answer is (1 point): Iron Curtain

Answer 4

The correct answer is "Iron Curtain." The term "Iron Curtain" refers to the Soviet Union's strategy of isolating Eastern European countries from Western democracies. To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate the incorrect options. Perestroika, for instance, refers to a series of reforms implemented in the Soviet Union in the 1980s to address economic and political issues, so it is not the correct term for sealing off Eastern European countries. The Great Wall of Communism and Great Divide are not historical terms and do not accurately describe this strategy. Therefore, the best choice is "Iron Curtain."
