Question

When the Soviet Union collapsed, the world breathed a sigh of relief. Nuclear war had been avoided, and the United States' number one enemy had ceased to exist. What the world did not know was what it would soon face in the coming decades. Nations around the globe, particularly the United States, began to experience
A.an economic depression unlike any other.
B.a war with the former Soviet Union.
C.a battle for superiority in the global market.
D.a rise in the number of terrorist activities.

Answer 1

The correct answer should be D. a rise in the number of terrorist activities. There was no global market since everyone was usually poor if they were from the eastern bloc. There was a rising number of terrorist activities because there were many groups that claimed to have the right to have their own country and sometimes they were even religious fundamentalists who stopped at nothing. This often caused warfare, both civil and global.
