No. I've checked two of your guesses. You're on your own now. Please do not post these questions again.
1. The leader that President George H.W. Bush did not want to get a hold of oil reserves in Kuwait was Saddam Hussein, the leader of Iraq (option A).
To get this answer, you can start by knowing that there was a conflict involving President George H.W. Bush in the early 1990s. This conflict is commonly known as the Gulf War. The Gulf War started after Saddam Hussein, the leader of Iraq, invaded and occupied Kuwait. The goal of President George H.W. Bush was to drive Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait and prevent Iraq from gaining control of Kuwait's oil reserves. Therefore, the correct answer is option A, Iraq.
2. The government program that is running out of money and is designed to help elderly people with their retirement funds is Social Security (option B).
To find this answer, you first need to know that Social Security is a government program designed to provide income and support for retired individuals. Secondly, you need to know that there are concerns about the long-term sustainability of Social Security due to changing demographics and increasing demand on the program. The fact that this program is running out of money refers to the future financial challenges it faces. Therefore, the correct answer is option B, Social Security.
3. George W. Bush, the President in the early 2000s, began what would be called the "War on Terror" (option A).
To arrive at the correct answer, you need to be aware of the historical context of the early 2000s and the actions taken by President George W. Bush. After the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, President Bush declared a global campaign against terrorism. This campaign, which involved military actions in Afghanistan and later Iraq, came to be known as the "War on Terror." Therefore, the correct answer is option A, Terror.
