One way people in Washington who supported the war targeted people who were opposed to the war was by spying on neighbors who expressed antiwar ideas.

The correct answer is A. They spied on neighbors who expressed antiwar ideas.

During times of war, there is often a heightened sense of patriotism and support for the cause. In some cases, individuals or groups who are in favor of the war may view those who oppose it as unpatriotic or potentially disloyal. This can lead to surveillance and monitoring of individuals who express antiwar sentiments, including spying on neighbors or reporting their activities to authorities.

It's important to note that such actions were not limited to Washington or a specific time period. Throughout history, during times of war or conflict, some individuals who support the war effort may resort to targeting and surveilling those who oppose it.
