Answer
A
Republicans in Congress were forced to compromise.
B
President Clinton agreed to accept the proposed budget.
C
Democrats accepted the blame for the government shutdown.
D
Americans declared their support for congressional Republicans.

Explanation

The 1995 budget standoff led to two government shutdowns after President Clinton and the Republican-controlled Congress disagreed over spending and policy. The crisis ended when congressional Republicans backed away from their demands and compromised with Clinton on a budget agreement. Clinton did not simply accept the Republicans’ proposed budget, so B is not correct.
