Question

what concerns truman about the events on the korean peninsula? check all that apply. communists use of subversive tactics the use of armed forces to spread communism the threat of a communist invasion of taiwan (formosa) north koreas defiance of un orders the potential for instability in the pacific area

Explanation:

• The text mentions that communism has moved beyond subversion (so the first option is incorrect as it's the opposite of what's stated - it's not just subversive tactics now but armed invasion).
• It clearly states "will now use armed invasion and war" which aligns with the second option.
• There is no mention in the text about a threat to Taiwan (Formosa) from communists.
• "It has defied the orders of the Security Council" - so North Korea's defiance of UN orders (fourth option) is a concern.
• "a direct threat to the security of the Pacific area" - indicating potential instability in the Pacific area (fifth option) is a concern.

Answer:

B. the use of armed forces to spread communism, D. North Korea’s defiance of UN orders, E. the potential for instability in the Pacific area
