Answer 1

The Red Scare resulted in various consequences, including persecution and blacklisting, but it was not popular to join the Communist Party during this period.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Red Scare was a period of intense fear and suspicion of communism that took place in the United States during the early years of the Cold War. While all the options mentioned were results of the Red Scare, the one that was not a direct result is OD. It was not popular to join the Communist Party during the Red Scare. In fact, being associated with the Communist Party was seen as a threat to national security and led to persecution and blacklisting.
