One of the main reasons why English has a large variety of words, spellings and meanings is because this language has many different origins. English originated from such diverse languages as French, Anglo-Saxon and German. It has also taken many words that are from Greek or Latin origin. This great variety of influences have made the language extremely rich and complex.

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

B. The scandal contributes to the characterization of Stalin as anti-Semitic and a continued supporter of the former Nazi Germany.

Explanation:

"The Doctors' Plot" shows how Stalin intended to execute the arrest of 15 Jewish doctors. These doctors were big names in medicine at the time and everyone was involved in the treatment of the diseases that Stalin had. However, Stalin showed no improvement and began to accuse the doctors of poisoning, even without any proof that this was really happening. This shows how Stalin maintained an anti-Semitic sentiment and supported the concepts raised by former Soviet Germany in relation to Jews.
