Answer
A
asking forceful and threatening questions
B
allowing people to hold any opinion about government
C
forcing people out of their jobs if they were accused of supporting communism
D
questioning the loyalty of government workers if they agreed with communist ideas
E
blocking people from wearing red because that meant they supported communism

Explanation

McCarthyism involved aggressive, intimidating questioning of people suspected of communist sympathies. Accusations could lead to people losing their jobs, and government workers’ loyalty was questioned if they supported communist ideas. It did not mean allowing every political opinion without consequences, and wearing red alone was not a defining sign of communist support.
