Which statement best describes Batista’s rule in Cuba?

Answer
A
The government was communist.
B
The USSR supported the leadership.
C
The citizens enjoyed increased freedoms.
D
The gap between the rich and the poor grew wider.

Explanation

Batista ruled Cuba as an authoritarian leader, and his government did not bring broad prosperity or greater freedoms to most citizens. Wealth and opportunities were concentrated among the rich, while many poorer Cubans remained disadvantaged, so the gap between rich and poor grew wider. The best answer is D, “The gap between the rich and the poor grew wider.”
