Question 1 • MCPSS AL-Grade 6 United States Studies: The Industrial Revolution to the Present - Summer School 2026

Which statement best describes the aftermath of Nixon’s presidency?

Answer
A
Competition between the US and the Soviet Union ended.
B
Inflation stabilized and the economy grew.
C
Economic and foreign policy challenges continued.
D
The costs of the Vietnam War had little impact on the economy.

Explanation

Economic difficulties such as inflation and slow growth continued after Nixon left office, and the United States still faced foreign policy challenges, including the ongoing Cold War and the aftermath of Vietnam. So the best description is that economic and foreign policy challenges continued. Inflation did not stabilize, and competition with the Soviet Union did not end.
