Question 6 • WINGS PA - 26 Literature II A Jefferson-Oliver

Which statement is false?

Answer
A
Words such as honor, duty, and courage were specifically kept out of the media so that people would view the space program without bias.
B
Walter Cronkite’s enthusiasm over the space program helped promote the program to the public.
C
John F. Kennedy established an unspoken competition between the United States and the Soviet Union when he set a goal for America to put a man on the Moon by the end of the 1960s.
D
The rapid growth and support of NASA helped boost the growth of technology and the economy during the 1960s.

Explanation

A is false because media coverage often used ideas such as honor, duty, and courage to shape public feelings about the space program, rather than keeping those ideas out to avoid bias. Walter Cronkite’s enthusiasm helped make the program popular, and Kennedy’s Moon goal intensified the competition with the Soviet Union. NASA’s expansion also supported technological and economic growth.
