Question

In the "kitchen debate," Richard Nixon argued:

Answer 1

The correct answer is A.

The Kitchen Debate was an impromptu exchange between Khrushchev and Nixon in 1959. In this exchange of words, Nixon is showing a model of an American home that most Americans can afford. While showing off the technology, Khrushchev explains how he thinks American homes can only last for twenty years and that they are not built to last from generation to generation.

Nixon counters by saying that many Americans would want to make changes after this amount of time anyways. He argues that houses like the one being shown allow for American citizens to redesign and keep their houses current by adding in new technology. These new technologies, that are bound to be developed, will help to improve the quality of life for American citizens.

Answer 2

that the American system was designed to take advantage of new technology. (APEX Class ;)
