Answer 1

B. By engaging in a military buildup the Soviets couldn't hope to equal

Ronald Reagan put pressure on the Soviet Union by building a large military that the Soviets could not be equal to.

Answer 2

Answer;

By engaging in a military buildup the Soviets couldn't hope to equal is how Reagan put pressure on the Soviet Union.

Step-by-step explanation:

-American conservatives give credit for the Cold War’s end to Ronald Reagan, but both Reagan and Gorbachev played big roles in ending the Cold War.

-Reagan’s contribution to ending the Cold War was also important - but not in the way conservatives would have us believe. Negotiations - not military confrontation - constituted the core of his strategy for dealing with the Soviets, and he relentlessly pursued them throughout his presidency.

-Indeed, his military buildup was intended to create incentives for the Soviets to negotiate significant arms reductions by eliminating or reducing their advantage in various weapons categories.
