Correct. The answer is b. The author’s main point in this section is that, despite the contested nature of the 2000 election, George W. Bush strove to expand the Republicans’ conservative domestic program, and faced threats and challenges that led him to pursue a unilateralist and preemptive approach to foreign policy that threatened the nation’s international reputation.

Correct. The answer is d. To support her point that the Bush administration adopted a new security strategy based on the idea of preemption, the author cites its decision to lead an invasion of Iraq in March 2003. Bush and his advisers justified the invasion by suggesting that Iraq posed enough of a threat to security that preventative action was needed.

Correct. The answer is a. To support her argument that Bush’s domestic policies contributed to his administration’s transformation of the budget surplus into an unprecedented federal deficit, the author cites Bush’s 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, which shed more than $450 billion of income from the federal budget, largely by favoring wealthy Americans.

Correct. The answer is c. The author argues that the Bush administration’s response to Hurricane Katrina “found little approval anywhere,” and shook Americans’ deeply rooted assumption that the federal government would product its citizens from natural disasters.

Correct. The answer is b. The author argues that Republicans’ plan to coopt Democrats’ issues led the Bush administration to pursue education reform and create the Medicare prescription drug benefit, which deviated from their larger conservative agenda.
