Correct. The answer is C. Stalin’s words refer to the fact that the Red Army bore a significant part of the burden of fighting the Nazis in Europe until May 1944, when the United States finally invaded France. Stalin had been resentful of the Americans’ long delay in initiating military operations in Europe, and the fact that the Soviet Union lost more than 20 million soldiers and civilians in the war. That resentment does seem implicit in this statement.

Correct. The answer is D. The United States and Britain believed that Americans’ place at the pinnacle of world power was guaranteed by their exclusive possession of the atomic bomb at the end of World War II. Churchill and Truman were focused on maintaining the United States’ position as the preeminent superpower, and, because atomic weapons made that possible, they assumed Stalin was similarly focused on obtaining them.

Correct. The answer is B. Churchill’s speech promotes the necessity of military strength and toughness on the part of the West in order to defend against the Soviet Union’s geographical and ideological expansion. Wallace argues that the United States and Britain should seek to understand the Soviet Union and pursue peaceful cooperation with Stalin to avoid another war.
