question 19 of 43
which statement best reflects a typical u.s. point of view that contributed to conflict during the cold war?

a. communist countries strip businesses and consumers of their right to economic freedom.

b. governments should have the right to control industries for the good of all citizens.

c. it is unacceptable for an able - bodied person to be unable to find a job in a rich country.

d. no citizens should have immense wealth while others experience hunger and poverty.

Explanation:

During the Cold War, the U.S. (capitalist) and communist countries had ideological conflicts. The U.S. emphasized economic freedom (capitalist ideology), so viewing communist countries as stripping economic freedom (option A) aligns with typical U.S. anti - communist Cold War views. Options B, C, D reflect more socialist/collectivist or general economic concerns, not the core U.S. Cold War ideological stance against communism's economic system.

Answer:

A. Communist countries strip businesses and consumers of their right to economic freedom.
