Which war?
To determine which answer choice is correct, we need to analyze each option and evaluate if it correctly explains how both the U.S. government and its citizens benefited from the war.
A. The government was able to defeat U.S. enemies, and citizens could freely travel: While it is true that defeating enemies could be considered a benefit for the government, the aspect of citizens being able to freely travel is not necessarily related to the war in general.
B. The government was able to enforce its isolationist policy, and citizens could discriminate against communists in the United States: While the government's ability to enforce its isolationist policy may be seen as a benefit, discrimination against communists is not a general benefit for all citizens and is not specific to the war.
C. The government benefited from expansion, and citizens benefited from an improved economy: Expansion and an improved economy can be considered benefits for both the government and its citizens. This option seems to address both parties.
D. The government could use the war to control countries in Latin America, and citizens paid less for imported goods: The idea of the government using the war to control countries in Latin America does not generally address a benefit for citizens, while citizens paying less for imported goods could be seen as an economic benefit.
Considering the analysis, option C seems to be the most accurate choice because both the government and its citizens benefited from expansion and an improved economy.
