Answer:

What caused the collapse of the Soviet Union?

(D. economic issues and peaceful demonstrations by Soviet citizens )

How did the U.S. public respond to Operation Desert Storm?

(B. The public considered Operation Desert Storm a huge success. )

What was George H.W. Bush’s approach to issues such as education and drug reform?

(D. Bush took a bold approach and invested government money in education reform and drug policy. )

Step-by-step explanation:

With regards to the questions, there are series of reasons to back up the answers choosen. Firstly, the collapse of the Soviet Union was as a result of the economic challenges they encountered. These led to agitations by the Eastern Europe for their independence.

The Soviet leader,Gorbachev honoured their request leading to multi-party Gorbachev’s decision to allow elections with a multi-party system and create a presidency for the Soviet Union which contributed to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The operation Desert Storm was considered a success because it led to the stopping of the Iraqi government forces aim of overunning the Kuwaiti and Saudi Arabia goverments on the long run.

The engagement of the American forces with the Iraqi forces leading to their defeat made the Iraqi forces to withdraw and return to iraqi thereby maintaing the stability in the Middle East.

Bush policy approach towards education and drug reforms could been seen in his bold approach and investment of government money in both sectors. Prominent among them is the "The No Child Left Behind Act of 2002 (NCLB)" and issue of "Noriega as director of the CIA who later began to aid the Sandinistas in Panama and also became increasingly involved in the international drug trade".

This lead the U.S. military launching "Operation Just Cause" with about 10,000 forces landing in Panama and joining the 13,000 already there to quickly overtake the Panamanian military being controlled by Noriega. The capture of Noriega lead to the dismantling of the biggest drug business between Panama and US.
