Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Natan Sharansky is an Israel politician who was held in prison by USSR for the charge of spying to Americans. In 1973, Sharansky applied for exit visa to Israel, which was denied by the USSR agencies on the ground that he has passed high security information to the West. He spent thirteen years of his  life in prison.

<u>His story took over the news in the West and won many sympathies from them. The USSR government was pressurised by the American government to release Sharansky. He received support from the Western countries. He was released in a prisoner exchange on 11th February 1986</u>.

So, the correct answer is option A.

mojhsa [17]
In election years, it is clear that Christianity plays a big role in U.S. politics.Whatare some ways that Christianity figures into political discourse? Many of our lawsare based upon those found in the Ten Commandments and the Bible (lawsagainst murder, theft, etc). Our government makes Christian holidays nationalholidays and gives us time off for them and many government organizations don’twork on Sunday (Sabbath). Some people want to implement the Bible into schoolsand teach Christian beliefs in public schools as well. Christian politicians are oftenmore popular than non-Christian ones and when they push Christians ideas theytend to be more popular as well. Anti-gay and anti-lgbt legislation are oftenmotivated by belief in parts of the Bible that condemn homosexuality.2.Find a current article in the newspaper that has something to do with Christianity.Discuss the article with the class.
