The correct answer is A.

On October 15, 1962, Air Force Pilot Richard Heyser was flying a spy plane over Cuba. He took pictures of Russian medium-range missiles. Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev had asked Cuba President Fidel Castro if he could put them there in May.

The Cuban Missile Crisis was a 13-day confrontation between the USA and the Soviet Union. The US deployed ballistic missiles in Italy and in Turkey and the Soviet Union responded with placing them in Cuba. The missiles in Cuba were seen as a direct treat to the U.S. security.

This confrontation is often considered to be the closest the Cold War came to escalating into a full-scale nuclear war.

It is A. John F. Kennedy ordered a blockade on Cuba to prevent any other missiles. The Soviet Union saw this as an act of war.

Answer:

A. There were breaks between terms so they were not all consecutive.

Explanation:

Eugene Talmadge was elected as Georgia's governor in 1932. He served the office for two consecutive terms. He became very popular for his dictatorial style of governance. Since he couldn't run again for the position of governor in 1936, he ran for Senator. However, he didn't win. In 1940, he tried running again as a governor and he won. It was his third term. Clearly, there was a break between the two consecutive terms here. In 1942, he ran again but lost the governor's position. This was also another break for him. Finally, he won the position for the 4th time in 1946, however, he died before his scheduled inauguration.
