Which did President Carter fail to do?

Answer
A
create a peace agreement between Israel and Egypt

take action against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan

free Americans taken hostage by Iran

Explanation

President Carter failed to secure the release of the Americans held hostage in Iran before the end of his presidency; they were freed on the day Ronald Reagan took office. Carter did help broker the Camp David Accords, which led to a peace agreement between Israel and Egypt. He also responded to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan by imposing measures such as an embargo and a boycott of the 1980 Olympics.
