Which of the following best explains why the Soviet Union supported movements such as the one described in the passage ?

Answer:

D

The Soviets wished to undermine Western governments during the Cold War.

Explanation:

Passage :

As a sixteen-year-old schoolgirl, I did not know much about being a freedom fighter, although I read nationalist newspapers and knew about the pronouncements of Jomo Kenyatta.* I read his book and Kenyatta himself was a frequent visitor to our home. He would talk to my father for hours on end. But, as children, we did not know what they were discussing. By the time the British declared a state of emergency in Kenya, I had already taken my first oath to the Mau Mau cause. Repeating carefully after the instructor, I swore to:

1. Fight for the soil of Kenya, which had been stolen by the Whites.

2. If possible, get a gun and any other valuables or money to help strengthen the movement.

3. Kill anyone who was against the movement, even if that person was my brother.

The state of emergency and the fighting kept me from studying abroad and joining my sister and brothers, who were studying in England. Finding myself with more time on my hands, I became even more eager to learn about freedom activities and felt even more commitment to Mau Mau, convinced that it was the only way that Kenya could be free.

Matters worsened as the state of emergency continued. People were arrested arbitrarily by the colonial authorities, and Black collaborators accused people of being Mau Mau with little or no proof. Despite the pressure, I felt as determined as ever. In my mind, I had no doubt that I was fighting for a just cause.”

The Soviets wished to undermine Western governments during the Cold War.

Truman, his country, and the free world sought to uphold freedom where it already existed and promote it where it did not, whereas Stalin and the Soviets wanted to spread communism throughout Europe and the rest of the globe. Simply put, World War Two had shown how fundamentally incompatible the principles of two former friends were. And when Stalin and the Communists tried to project their ideology, unrest, and bloodshed on the international scene, the struggle spread globally.

The Soviet Union had enlisted spies and seized control of American communist organisations even before Stalin came to power. Their spy work was quite successful. Alger Hiss, Julian Wadleigh, Laurence Duggan, and Noel Field were all Communist spies working for the State Department.

Read the following paragraph and answer the question.
George Washington was born on February 22, 1732, in Westmoreland County, Virginia. Contrary to popular
belief, his teeth were not made of wood. By the age of twenty-three, he had already established himself as a
military hero in the French and Indian War. Four years later, he met and married Martha Dandridge Custis, a
young widow whose husband had died. Although they raised Martha's children from her previous marriage
and two of their grandchildren, the couple never had any children of their own. Washington died two years
before his wife. He became active in local politics and eventually became a leader in speaking out against the
magisterial British rule. When war broke out in 1775, he was chosen as commander-in-chief of the American
troops. At the end of the war, he was unanimously elected the nation's first president. He served two terms
and then retired to his home, Mount Vernon. He died on December 12, 1799, from pneumonia and bad
weather
