Answer 1

Part A - D) Many Germans have suffered under communism.

Part B - C) “... one German out of four is denied the elementary right of free men, and that is to make a free choice.”

Step-by-step explanation:

On June 1963, President Kennedy gave one of his most popular speeches to hundreds of thousands of Germans in West Berlin as he applauded West Berlin for surviving even though they were surrounded by East Germany which was a communist state.

In this speech he argued that many Germans have suffered under communism as one out of every four Germans did not have the fundamental right to make their own choices simply because they lived in the communist state of East Germany.

A person who cannot make their own choices is one without freedom to be who they are and do what they want. That person can be said to be suffering and this was what the resident alluded to.
