History

Correct answer: D. The  United States worried that if Vietnam fell to the communists, other countries in Southeast Asia would follow.

This was known as "domino theory" -- that the spread of communism in Vietnam would result in other countries in the region falling like dominoes to the influence of communism.  

Domino theory was, in a sense, a corollary to the policy of containment that had been the United States' goal regarding communism since the end of World War II.  George F. Kennan is known for recommending the policy of containment.  Kennan was an American diplomat in Moscow who, in 1946,  sent a long telegram of his advice about what the USA needed to do about the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Kennan recommended containing the communist influence the USSR and its allies had.  So whenever there was a threat of the spread of communism, as there was in Vietnam, the US tended to react to try to stop that spread.

What did pavlov want to learn about dogs?
ss7ja [257]
Pavlov started from the idea that there are some things that a dog does not need to learn. For example, dogs don’t learn to salivate whenever they seafood. This reflex is “hard-wired” into the dogs. The behaviorist terms, food is an unconditioned stimulus and salivation is an unconditioned response.
