Explanation:

• Question 5: After the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, due to wartime hysteria and racism, Japanese - Americans (many of whom were U.S. citizens) were forcibly relocated to internment camps. This was a violation of their civil liberties. Options a and b are incorrect as they are the opposite of what happened. Option d is also wrong as the main action was internment in the U.S., not mass return to Japan.
• Question 6: The Brown v. Board of Education decision (1954) declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional. President Eisenhower, while perhaps not being a strong advocate of desegregation in the social sense at first, did send federal troops (the 101st Airborne Division) to Little Rock, Arkansas in 1957 to enforce the desegregation of Central High School (in response to Governor Faubus' attempt to block integration). Option a is incorrect. Option c is wrong as he did not resign. Option d is also incorrect as he did not ban education.
• Question 7: Executive Order 9981, signed by President Truman in 1948, stated that "there shall be equality of treatment and opportunity for all persons in the armed services without regard to race, color, religion, or national origin". This effectively ended racial segregation in the U.S. military. The Cold War ended in the early 1990s (so option a is wrong). Affirmative action programs were not banned (option c is wrong), and the United Nations was created in 1945 (option d is wrong).
• Question 8: Executive Order 11246, issued by President Johnson in 1965, required federal contractors to take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Options b (segregation), c (eliminate civil rights protections), and d (hire only white employees) are all contrary to the purpose of affirmative action.
