Explanation:

Question 1 (True/False):

John Hinckley, Jr. attempted to assassinate President Reagan on March 30, 1981, which was about 2 months after Reagan took office (January 20, 1981). So the statement "Months prior to the Reagan presidency, John Hinckley, Jr. attempted to assassinate the president..." is false.

In Reagan’s first years in office, unemployment reached about 10.8% (close to 10 - 11 range), and the option 10 is the closest among the given choices (12, 8, 10, 15) to the actual peak unemployment rate in his early term (around 10.8% in late 1982, but the question says "about" and among the options, 10 is the most appropriate).

The Reagan administration, believing in free - market self - regulation, was hostile to labor unions. In 1981, Reagan fired 12,000 federal air traffic controllers who went on strike, showing little use for labor unions. So the statement is true.

Answer:

False
