Which statement about the HUAC Hollywood hearings is true?

Answer
A
Only ten members of the movie industry testified.
B
Three hundred twenty artists were sent to jail.
C
Many careers were ruined.

Explanation

The HUAC Hollywood hearings led to blacklists that kept many actors, writers, directors, and other film-industry workers from getting jobs. As a result, many careers were ruined. The “Hollywood Ten” were ten people who refused to answer questions, not the only ten members of the industry who testified, and 320 artists were not sent to jail.
