Answer:

Which statement best describes how American society largely felt about the idea of communism coming to their country?

O a. They wanted a communist takeover in the U.S.

O b. They wanted cooperation with communists in the U.S.

O c. They feared communism would take over the U.S.

O d. They knew the US government would allow communist people to be part of society.

Step-by-step explanation:

What was The Red Scare?

  • During the early 1950s, widespread fear of communism rose. This fear encouraged US involvement in the Cold War. Communists were viewed as threats to the fundamental principles of a Democratic Republic and were widely feared throughout the country. Some may argue that this hysteria still exists today.

Answer Breakdowns

  • Choice C is the best answer. This is the only answer choice out of all the answer choices that best defines the general American attitude toward communism.
  • Choices A, B,&D are all incorrect. These choices propose a stance of tolerance and/or acceptance by American society toward communism, which is not the case.
