Answer 2

Correct answers are:

Tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union grew.

The United States and the Soviet Union emerged as superpowers.

The Iron Curtain separated Eastern and Western Europe.

Step-by-step explanation:

First option is not correct as China emerged as a communist country, whose ideals were totally opposite to the ideals of United States.

Second option is correct as this tension led to their conflict, which is known in history as Cold war.

Third option is also correct as United States were economically, military and technologically the most developed countries in the world.

Fourth option is not correct as Eastern countries were communist, and had totally different governments than those in Europe.

That is best explained by the term Iron Curtain, used by Winston Churchill, which is used to describe the division that existed in Europe. That is why statement five is correct.
