greater trade between the East and West

increased study of science and math

heightened world tensions

Explanation

The arms race drove governments to develop advanced weapons and technology, increasing the importance of studying science and math. It also heightened tensions between rival nations and made people fear a nuclear attack. Many communities built fallout shelters in response to that fear. Greater East–West trade and cooperation in space exploration were not typical effects of the arms race.
