I don't think it was necessary to call Jamie 'stupid', if that was what your intent was. But hey, what do I know, I'm just a strange kid with a strange love for testing!

I agree.

You are correct, the direct result of the United States' fear that the Soviet Union would expand its power around the world was the Cold War (option 2).

To arrive at this answer, you can consider the historical context. After World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union emerged as the two superpowers with opposing ideologies. The United States feared that the Soviet Union would spread communism and gain influence in other countries, which threatened American interests and values. This fear resulted in a long period of political tension, military buildup, and ideological conflict known as the Cold War. During this time, the United States and the Soviet Union engaged in various proxy wars, arms races, and ideological battles, lasting from the late 1940s until the early 1990s.

Option 1, World War II, is not the direct result of the United States' fear of Soviet expansion but rather a separate global conflict that erupted prior to the Cold War. Option 3, communism, is related to the United States' fear, but it was the Soviet Union's promotion of communism that elicited the fear, rather than being a direct result of it. Option 4, the Treaty of Versailles, refers to the peace treaty that ended World War I and is not directly connected to the United States' fear of Soviet expansion.

No. You are wrong, try again. Please do not post questions like this, as you shouldn't be stupid enough to not understand this.
