The ACTUAL correct answer is: A. Gulf of Tonkin Resolution

Dates of the items listed:

Gulf of Tonkin Resolution: 1964
Operation Rolling Thunder: 1965-1968
Tet Offensive: 1968
Vietnamization: began 1969, under Nixon Administration

Further detail on Gulf of Tonkin Resolution:

The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, passed by Congress in August, 1964, after alleged attacks on two US naval ships in the Gulf of Tonkin. The key wording in the resolution said:

<em>Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that the Congress approves and supports the determination of the President, as Commander in Chief, to take all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States and to prevent further aggression.</em>

That resolution served as a blank check for President Johnson to send troops to whatever extent he deemed necessary in pursuance of the war. Between 1964 and the end of Johnson's presidency in 1969, US troop levels in Vietnam increased from around 20,000 to over 500,000.

With which statement would advocates of the scientific method agree?

Tanzania [10]

C) The testing and retesting of ideas provides the best approach to solving problems.
The scientific method relies upon gathering of data. Creation of a hypothesis that can both predict new data and is potentially falsifiable. Gathering of new data that is predicted by the hypothesis, or indicates that the hypothesis is incorrect, in which case modify the old hypothesis, or create a new one that matches the known data. Now with that in mind, let's look at the choices and see what fits.
A) New ideas about the world must be supported by established theory.  * This option assumes that established theory comprising the whole of all possible theories. This is in direct conflict with the scientific method and is therefore a bad choice.
B) Faith can be used to reconcile conflicts between observation and ideology.  * The scientific method relies only on the observed data. As such, using faith to reconcile differences between observations and what one thinks things should be is in conflict. So this too, is a bad choice.
C) The testing and retesting of ideas provides the best approach to solving problems.  * This is a nice truthful summary of the scientific method. So this is the correct choice.
D) Truth about the conditions of life is found in the teachings of the Church. * This is not the scientific method. So this is a bad choice.
