Answer 1

The correct match for each term with its definition is 1-A) Command economy, 2-B) Containment, and 3-C) Détente.

Step-by-step explanation:

To match each term with the correct definition, let's look at the options provided along with the definitions we know are accurate:

• Command economy: An economy where economic decisions are passed down from government authority and where the government owns the resources.
• Containment: A strategy to prevent the spread of communism and the influence of the Soviet Union around the globe, implemented by the United States during the Cold War.
• Détente: Easing of strained relations, usually in the context of international politics, often associated with relaxed military postures and improved diplomatic relations between adversaries.

With this understanding, we now match each term (1, 2, 3) with the correct definition (A, B, C):

1. 1 - Command economy matches with A) A type of national economy in which the government controls all of the means of production, distribution, and labor, and output is determined by the centralized planning authority.
2. 2 - Containment matches with B) Preventing the spread of hostile forces or ideologies through political-economic and military policies and actions.
3. 3 - Détente matches with C) Easing of strained relations between nations, usually associated with relaxing military postures toward one another.

Therefore, the correct answer is: a. 1-A; 2-B; 3-C
