Let's analyze each question and its options to determine the best answers. **II. Which of the following is an accurate statement about Germany after WWII?** - **A. Germany was divided into two zones- communist and democratic by the Allies.** This statement is partially true but oversimplifies the situation. Germany was divided into four zones controlled by the Allies (the US, UK, France, and the Soviet Union), not just two. - **B. Berlin was solely communist since it was in the Soviet zone.** This is incorrect. While East Berlin was in the Soviet zone, West Berlin was controlled by the Western Allies (US, UK, and France). - **C. The control of Berlin was split into four zones among four Allied nations.** This statement is accurate. Berlin was indeed divided into four sectors controlled by the US, UK, France, and the Soviet Union. - **D. Germany was able to self-govern after World War II.** This is incorrect. Germany was under Allied control and did not have self-governance immediately after WWII. **Best Answer: C. The control of Berlin was split into four zones among four Allied nations.** --- **I2. Why did the Soviets cut off supplies from the western nations to Berlin?** - **A. They hated Germany.** This is too simplistic and not the main reason for the blockade. - **B. They wanted to invade Germany.** This is not accurate; the blockade was more about control than invasion. - **C. They did not want control.** This is contradictory; the Soviets wanted control. - **D. They wanted total control of Berlin.** This is the most accurate statement. The Soviets aimed to consolidate their control over Berlin and force the Western Allies out. **Best Answer: D. They wanted total control of Berlin.** --- **13. How did the Soviets feel about the airlift initially?** - **A. They knew it would work, so they gave up quickly.** This is not accurate; they did not give up quickly. - **B. They did not think it would work, and thought Berlin's population would give up.** This is a plausible interpretation of their initial feelings. - **C. They knew it would work for some time, but not long.** This is somewhat accurate but does not capture their initial skepticism. - **D. They felt it would not work at all, and encouraged leaders to give up immediately.** This is also a plausible interpretation but less specific than option B. **Best Answer: B. They did not think it would work, and thought Berlin's population would give up.** --- **t. Which BEST describes the author's purpose of this article?** - **To inform** This is likely the primary purpose, as the article discusses historical events. - **To persuade** This does not seem to be the main goal of the article. - **To entertain** This is unlikely, as the topic is serious and historical. - **To explain** This could also be a purpose, but "to inform" is broader and more fitting. **Best Answer: To inform.** --- In summary, the best answers are: - II: C - I2: D - 13: B - t: To inform
