The Reagan Revolution

Question 3 • EAP-Virginia and US History B CR

Which part of the Tower Commission’s account makes Reagan’s innocence uncertain?

Answer
A
its determination that the commission was “Reagan-appointed”
B
its conclusion that “an investigation” of the president was needed
C
its claim that Reagan’s disengagement had “created conditions”
D
its assertion that there was a “diversion of funds to the Contras”

Explanation

The phrase that most directly raises questions about Reagan’s innocence is that his disengagement “created conditions” for the scandal. It suggests that his lack of involvement or oversight helped make the events possible, even if it does not prove he knowingly directed them. The other choices describe the commission’s composition, a proposed investigation, or the diversion itself rather than a possible connection to Reagan.
