E) The selection of wheat over corn because of its perception as the grain of the common man

Answer 1

Answer: B) The eventual collectivization of farms by the Soviet system

Step-by-step explanation:

The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels is the founding document for the Communism movement and therefore was very influential on the Soviet Union under Communism.

It called for public ownership of land and resources so that returns from them would be distributed evenly. This led to the collectivization of farms in the Soviet Union as the government took land from the landowners for public use and instructed farmers to come together in very large groups and farm for the good of the nation.
