In Mandatory Military Service in America, what does upheaval mean as it is used in the excerpt from paragraph 9 of Counterpoint? “This did not stop the protests; in fact, they got worse. Some young men who knew from their lottery number that they would be drafted ran away. Others went to jail rather than fight in the war. Do we want to have widespread protests like this again? Reinstituting the draft could result in such upheavals.” Question 2 options: a) A change in location due to environmental discomfort b) A lifting of soil and earth after a community march c) A system for selecting individuals from a group d) A social disruption resulting in assertive action

Answer:

The answer is D, a social disruption resulting in assertive action. Using context clues you may find out the definition of upheaval: "Reinstituting the draft could result in such upheavals." In this sentence it would probably make sense if I replace the word upheavals with protests, and use that definition or something similar to it.
