Question

which did president carter do in his attempt to free american hostages taken by iran?
○ buy more iranian oil
○ convince us allies to boycott iranian goods
○ seek help from the shah
○ free millions of dollars of iranian assets

Explanation:

During the Iran Hostage Crisis, President Jimmy Carter pursued diplomatic and economic measures to secure the release of the hostages. One key action was persuading U.S. allies to join in an economic boycott of Iranian goods to pressure the Iranian government. Buying more Iranian oil would not pressure Iran, the Shah was overthrown and could not help, and Carter froze (not freed) Iranian assets in the U.S.

Answer:

convince US allies to boycott Iranian goods
