Question 18 • United States History and Geography

Which of these was a result of perestroika?

Answer
A
a surplus of many goods
B
long lines in stores
C
decreased farm production
D
rapid economic growth

Explanation

Perestroika introduced economic reforms in the Soviet Union, but the transition disrupted production and distribution rather than quickly improving the economy. Shortages became common, so people often had to wait in long lines to buy goods; this matches “long lines in stores.”
