Question

Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

To those new states whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our word that one
form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron
tyranny. We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view. But we shall always hope
to find them strongly supporting their own freedom-and to remember that, in the past, those
who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside.
In the analogy about the tiger at the end of this excerpt from President John F. Kennedy's inaugural
address, who is likely analogous to the tiger?
colonial countries
o democratic countries
o communist countries
capitalist countries

Answer 2

o Communist countries.

Step-by-step explanation:

President John F. Kennedy gave his 1961 inaugural speech on his election as the 35th President of the United States. And it was in his speech that he famously declared "ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country." This line would become one of his famous sayings over time.

In the given passage from the speech, President Kennedy used the metaphor of a 'tiger' to express his feelings about communist countries. He alludes to such countries as dangerous and even 'swallow up' those "the back of [it]." So, colluding and supporting such communist countries only led to a disaster for the other countries.

Thus, the analogy of the tiger is about communist countries.
