question 1 - 20
which statement explains the cause of the red scare in the united states after world war i?
widespread strikes and the russian revolution led to fears of communist influence
the government feared losing colonies to european powers.
the discovery of gold in alaska attracted foreign investment

Explanation:

The Red Scare was a period of fear of communist influence. Widespread strikes (which could be seen as radical labor actions) and the Russian Revolution (which established a communist state) would logically lead to fears of communist influence in the US. The other options are not related to the cause of the Red Scare. The government losing colonies to European powers is about colonialism and not communism. The discovery of gold in Alaska attracting foreign investment is an economic event with no connection to communist fear.

Answer:

Widespread strikes and the Russian Revolution led to fears of communist influence.
