Answer 1

The correct answer is A) the President's attempts to restrict conservative influence.

The social condition that was the main factor prompting President Eisenhower's speech was the President's attempts to restrict conservative influence.

In that famous speech, United States President said people should not be afraid to learn and read books, as long the information contained in the books did not affect the decency of the American values. He said that the only form of censorship should be the one that censors information that attacks the values of America. In that speech, President Eisenhower expressed "how will we defeat Communism unless we know what it is, what it teaches, and why does it have such an appeal for men, why so many people are swearing allegiance to it."

The other options of the question were b) the churches attempt to promote religious tolerance, c) MLK attempts to increase literacy rates, and d) Senator McCarthy's attempts to limit free speech.
