Answer:

<em>D. House Un-American Activities Committee.</em>

Explanation:

Because the Cold War escalated, it became recognized as the Red Scare, the hysteria over the supposed danger posed by communists in the USA.

The Government of the United States responded by establishing the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), tasked with detecting communist dangers to the U.S.

HUAC was founded in 1938 to prosecute suspected treachery and subversive behavior by private individuals, public workers and institutions accused of communist connections.

Americans who are accused of having ties with the Communist Party will be prosecuted in court.

6. Our country's nuclear weapons program is headed by what agency?|I
alexdok [17]
At the dawn of the nuclear age, the United States hoped to maintain a monopoly on its new weapon, but the secrets and the technology for building the atomic bomb soon spread. The United States conducted its first nuclear test explosion in July 1945 and dropped two atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, in August 1945. Just four years later, the Soviet Union conducted its first nuclear test explosion. The United Kingdom (1952), France (1960), and China (1964) followed. Seeking to prevent the nuclear weapon ranks from expanding further, the United States and other like-minded countries negotiated the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) in 1968 and the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) in 1996.

India, Israel, and Pakistan never signed the NPT and possess nuclear arsenals. Iraq initiated a secret nuclear program under Saddam Hussein before the 1991 Persian Gulf War. North Korea announced its withdrawal from the NPT in January 2003 and has successfully tested advanced nuclear devices since that time. Iran and Libya have pursued secret nuclear activities in violation of the treaty’s terms, and Syria is suspected of having done the same. Still, nuclear nonproliferation successes outnumber failures, and dire decades-old forecasts that the world would soon be home to dozens of nuclear-armed have not come to pass.

Which type of investments are securities ? (Debt/equity neither or both)
nirvana33 [79]
The correct answer is Equity

Equity securities are those that provide you with a steady income. Investments work so that when you invest money, you get an income from the company based on your investment. This is why it's an equity security and not a debt security.
