Question 6 • United States History and Geography

Which statement best describes President Lyndon Johnson?

Answer

Johnson declared that a period of mourning was not a good time to change government policies.

Johnson started the space program to give the grieving United States a new reason to hope.

Johnson helped the people of the United States put the Kennedy presidency behind them by proposing different policies.

Johnson helped the United States transition after Kennedy’s death by honoring his predecessor’s policies.

Explanation

After President Kennedy was assassinated, Johnson sought to reassure the country and maintain continuity by supporting Kennedy’s major goals, including civil rights and the space program. This best matches the statement that Johnson helped the United States transition by honoring his predecessor’s policies. The space program had begun before Johnson became president, so choice B is not accurate.
