Right.
To answer these questions, we can analyze the options and use some background knowledge about American history during the time of President Kennedy's election and the 1968 election.
1. When Kennedy was elected president, many were:
A. pleased because of his clear experience.
B. fearful because he had appointed such controversial people to the cabinet.
C. pleased because of sound cabinet appointment and his ability to inspire.
To determine the answer, let's consider the options:
A. pleased because of his clear experience: This option suggests that people were happy because Kennedy had clear experience. However, it does not provide any information about his ability to inspire or his cabinet appointments.
B. fearful because he had appointed such controversial people to the cabinet: This option suggests that people were afraid because Kennedy's cabinet appointments were controversial. Again, this option does not mention his ability to inspire or his cabinet appointments being sound.
C. pleased because of sound cabinet appointment and his ability to inspire: This option suggests that people were happy because Kennedy's cabinet appointments were sound and he had the ability to inspire.
Based on the information provided, option C seems to be the most suitable answer. It mentions both the soundness of his cabinet appointments and his ability to inspire, which were significant factors in Kennedy's popularity and support.
2. In the election of 1968:
A. Nixon carried the south.
B. Humphrey carried the South.
C. Wallace did not win enough electoral votes to change the outcome.
To find the answer, let's consider the options:
A. Nixon carried the south: This option implies that Richard Nixon won the southern states in the 1968 election.
B. Humphrey carried the South: This option suggests that Hubert Humphrey, the Democratic candidate, won the southern states in the 1968 election.
C. Wallace did not win enough electoral votes to change the outcome: This option indicates that George Wallace, the third-party candidate, did not win sufficient electoral votes to significantly impact or change the final results of the election.
To determine the correct answer, we need to consider the historical context. In the 1968 election, Richard Nixon was the Republican candidate, Hubert Humphrey was the Democratic candidate, and George Wallace was the American Independent Party candidate. Nixon was able to appeal to southern states in the election, known as the "Southern Strategy," leading to his victory.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. Nixon carried the south.
