I think this highly subjective as most historians can’t agree on what he was trying to say and why. But my interpretation was that he used the term “iron curtain” because iron is viewed as strong and impenetrable. Remember, the Soviet gov controlled their people. The news they got, the tv they watched, the flowing of information in and out of the country. Nothing from the outside was getting in unless the gov approved it. Also in the flip side, the gov wanted to keep its people in the country and they could not escape easily. This is why the Brandenburg Gate, The Berlin Wall and yes the physical Iron Curtain were constructed.

Semmy [17]

Answer:b.had never been aggressive became the most aggressive after watching the violent film

Explanation:Children are most likely to be influenced to do exactly what they see being done either by their parents or by watching it on TV.

For example children who watch wrestling even though they can be told that this shouldn't be tried at home but still most of them try it on each other .

So it is very likely that even when they watch the violent film they will try to do what they saw , they may not have guns but they will try to imitate exactly what was being portrayed on the film.
