Question

the u.s. government responded to soviet aggression by supporting the people in west berlin.
during this time, how did the u.s. get food and fuel to people in west berlin?
○ by using large ships in the nearby ocean
○ by asking the soviet union to share their food
○ by flying supplies in on airplanes for almost a year
○ by building a secret underground tunnel

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

This refers to the Berlin Airlift (1948-1949), when the Soviet Union blocked all land access to West Berlin. The U.S. and its allies launched a massive airlift operation, using airplanes to deliver food, fuel, and other essential supplies to the people of West Berlin for nearly a year. The other options are incorrect: West Berlin was landlocked so ships couldn't reach it; the Soviets were the ones imposing the blockade so they wouldn't share supplies; no secret underground tunnel was used for this purpose.

Answer:

By flying supplies in on airplanes for almost a year
