□ it limited the comments of individuals.

□ it demanded total submission to the will of one person.
□ it eliminated the possibility of voicing practical views.

Explanation:

According to the excerpt, Stalin imposed his concepts and demanded absolute submission. This implies that the "cult of personality" limited individual comments (as there was no persuasion or explanation, so individuals couldn't freely comment), created fear (due to the strict imposition and demand for submission), focused on one individual (Stalin) rather than the collective (the party), demanded total submission to one person (Stalin), and eliminated the possibility of voicing practical views (since it was about absolute submission, not cooperation and discussion which could involve voicing practical views).

Answer:

All the options are correct.

• It limited the comments of individuals.
• It created feelings of fear and helplessness.
• It focused on a single individual rather than the party.
• It demanded total submission to the will of one person.
• It eliminated the possibility of voicing practical views.
