Correct answer:  A. It amounted to an informal declaration of Cold War.

Explanation/detail:

The Truman Doctrine became the basis for the United States' foreign policy during the Cold War.  The Truman Doctrine was first stated by the president to Congress in 1947, saying:  "It must be the policy of the United States to support free people who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures."  Essentially, the Truman Doctrine pledged American effort elsewhere in the world to check the spread of communist and Soviet influence.  The policy was first put into action in 1948 by providing economic support to Greece and Turkey to stave off communist movement in those countries.  The essence of this policy was called "containment" -- keeping communism where it was and stopping it from spreading.  

The containment policy had been recommended by George F. Kennan, America's ambassador in Moscow after World War II.  In 1946, he sent what became known as "the long telegram" of his advice about what the USA needed to do about the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).  Kennan took note of the internal problems the USSR had.  He advised not pushing the conflict too much, but instead just try to "contain" the Soviet Union and wait for their system to collapse under the weight of its own problems.  Kennan was right.  It took almost 50 years, but eventually the communist system in the USSR fell apart.  [The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics came to an end in 1991.]

Describe the system of slavery as practiced in the mediterranean region:
denpristay [2]

The first 19 or so Africans to reach the English colonies arrived in Jamestown, Virginia in 1619, brought by Dutch traders who had seized them from a captured Spanish slave ship. The Spanish usually baptized slaves in Africa before embarking them.

Define paternalism as it formed a part of the culture of race enslavement. Slaves were acquired by European traders. These traders had either captured the slaves via raids along the coast or from purchasing/trading with local African slave traders.

Slavery was different prior to statehood than it became afterward. Slaves came into the state in small numbers and worked alongside whites at similar tasks. Enslaved men, armed with weapons, even helped defend fortifications against Indian attack.

A good newspaper article describes the scene of an event. Read this description of the scene of one of the debates. Use the info
BlackZzzverrR [31]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question is incomplete because it did not say what kind of debate, the place, the date, and the scene or the debate, we can say that when journalists report debates in the newspaper, they have to elaborate a specific description, chronologically, maybe, of the way congressmen debated.

A typical scene of debate includes Congressmen of the two parties discussing and even arguing their proposals, trying to defend their ideas in order to win the debate. Sometimes the debate gets heated and it becomes something personal, although that is not professional.
