Answer:
The right answer is: 1. Strong social opposition to the war. 2. President Richard Nixon´s desire to get reelected.
Explanation:
In the 1960s, a peace movement was born and developed into a formidable social and political force. Opposition to war in Vietnam was massive, and it effectively put pressure on US decision-makers and the course of the conflict. Besides, president Nixon wanted to fulfill his promise to sign a face-saving peace "with honor". Nixon wanted to win reelection in 1972, he calculated that getting a peace deal with the Communist Northern Vietnamese would help him achieve that goal.
