Answer
A
Because of the Berlin Blockade, the US Air Force bombed Soviet East Germany.
B
The Soviet Union and the United States did not go to war but acted aggressively toward each other.
C
The United States and the Soviet Union worked together to defeat Nazi Germany in Berlin.
D
The Soviet Union tried to control Berlin through a blockade, but the United States got around it.
E
Because of the Berlin Blockade, the Soviet air force bombed West Germany.
Explanation
The Soviet Union blocked land routes into West Berlin, and the United States responded by supplying the city through an airlift. This shows that the two superpowers acted aggressively toward each other without fighting a direct war, so B is correct. The blockade was an attempt to control access to Berlin, but the airlift got around it, so D is correct. Neither side bombed the other during the blockade, and the United States and Soviet Union were not working together to defeat Germany then.
