Answer 1

The right answer is:

a general panic as thousands of soldiers and civilians crowded the roads to escape the Vietminh .

Step-by-step explanation:

In the months and weeks before the fall of Saigon in April 1975, a huge exodus of civilians and military men could be seen in the roads of Southern Vietnam. Morale was low and this fact surely contributed to the final outcome, the victory of the Northern Vietnamese troops.

NOTE: Please note that the right term here should be Viet Cong and not Vietminh.
