Explanation:

• Question 5: The First Red Scare was a period of anti - Communist hysteria in the US from 1917 - 1920. The Reconstruction Era (1865 - 1877) was about post - Civil War rebuilding. The Revolutionary Era was related to the American Revolution. The Great War is World War I (1914 - 1918).
• Question 6: Communism emphasizes public ownership of property and resources. Capitalism is based on private ownership. Neutralism is about not taking sides in conflicts. Isolationism is a foreign policy of not getting involved in international affairs.
• Question 7: Communists were called “Reds” because of their allegiance to the Soviet flag (which had red in it). Great Britain, the US, and China do not have this association with the term “Reds” in the context of the Red Scare.
• Question 8: The Anarchist Act (also known as the Immigration Act of 1918) targeted people (especially anarchists and those with radical views) who criticized the government and was used during the Red Scare for deportation. The Deportation Act is a more general term. The Sedition Act of 1918 was related to anti - war speech. The Indian Removal Act was in the 19th century.
• Question 9: The Immigration Act of 1924 was more restrictive than previous immigration laws. It set quotas based on national origin, severely limiting immigration from certain regions.

Answer:

• Question 5: C. First Red Scare
• Question 6: B. Communism
• Question 7: B. Soviet
• Question 8: B. Anarchist Act
• Question 9: A. The Immigration Act of 1924 was more restrictive than previous immigration laws.
