Answer 1

During the chaotic end of the Vietnam War, many South Vietnamese people who wanted to evacuate were left behind in Saigon because B) Americans had not committed to evacuating South Vietnamese.

In the duration of this chaos, Americans were uncertain and clearly lacked commitment in terms of evacuating South Vietnamese citizens. This uncertainty and time consumption largely contributed to how many people in Saigon were left behind.
