QUESTION 15
Read the following passage carefully before you choose your answer.

This passage is taken from the concluding remarks of a speech given by President Ronald Reagan to the people of West Berlin in 1987.

(11)And now the Soviets themselves may, in a limited way, be coming to understand the importance of freedom. We hear much from Moscow about a new policy of reform and openness. Some political prisoners have been released. Certain foreign news broadcasts are no longer being jammed. Some economic enterprises have been permitted to operate with greater freedom from state control.

(12)Are these the beginnings of profound changes in the Soviet state? Or are they token gestures, intended to raise false hopes in the West, or to strengthen the Soviet system without changing it? We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace. There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace.

(13)General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!

A. the people of Berlin reject the implementation of these rights
B. the people of the West reject these values
C. these ideals are sure proof of Soviet advancements in human rights
D. these are the ideals that are valued by the West

Step-by-step explanation:

The passage emphasizes the importance of freedom, security, and increased human liberties. President Reagan states that the belief in these values is held by the West, indicating that these ideals are highly regarded by Western nations, including the United States. The passage does not suggest rejection or control by the people of Berlin or the Soviets. Instead, it highlights the significance of these ideals and expresses hope for their advancement for the cause of freedom and peace.
