Massive retaliation means the US would respond to an attack with a larger response to annihilate the enemy. 

Massive retaliation required a bigger, stronger weapon than held by an enemy. This policy forced an intense arms race which required the US to win in order to execute the plan. The use spent millions developing nuclear weapons and eventually the space program to prove they were prepared for an attack by the USSR.

You didn't list statements to choose from, so I'll just provide some detail about Dulles' approach.

John Foster Dulles was Secretary of State under President Eisenhower.  He held the office from 1953 to 1959.  He wanted a change from what had been the "containment policy" which the US had followed during the Truman Administration, as recommended then by American diplomat George F. Kennan.   Dulles felt the containment approach put the United States in a weak position, because it only was reactive, trying to contain  communist aggression when it occurred.

Dulles sought to push America's policy in a more active direction; some have labeled his approach "brinksmanship."  In an article in LIFE magazine in 1956, Dulles said, "The ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art."  He wasn't afraid to threaten massive retaliation against communist enemy countries as a way of intimidating them.

What purpose does the wicker fence serve?
IRINA_888 [86]

The correct answer is - protection of the cargo.

The wicker fence on the ships of the Phoenicians had the purpose to protect the cargo. Since the sea waters are not always calm, and very often, out of nowhere, a storm can emerge and contribute to bigger waves, as well as rocking of the ship itself, the Phoenicians invented a simple trick, and that was the wicker fence. With it on place, the cargo was safe on the boat, and it was not able to slip away and be lost in the sea.

The diffrence between two positive numbers is 7 and the square of thier sum is 289​
laila [671]
You can use substitution method
x - y = 7
(x+y)^2=289
So
Since the square of their sum is 298, their sum without being squared is the square root of 289.
Hence,
x - y = 7
x + y = 17
By subtracting you get the following:
= (0) -2(y)=-10
So -2y=-10
y=-10/-2
y=5
Now, plug in y in both equations to get x
x - (5) = 7
x + (5) = 17
Multiply each equation with its opposite y variables
(5) x - (5) = 7
(-5) x + (5) = 17
= 5x -25 = 35
-5x -25 = -85
Now subtract the equations
= 10x + (0) = 120
10x = 120
x = 120/10
x = 12
