Answer:

The most appropriate answer is a): He didn’t care to get involved.

Explanation:

Warren Harding didn’t care to get involved in the scandal and other scandals that occurred during his administration, but which were completely exposed after his death.

Investigations revealed that he knew about the scandal, but didn’t make any effort to expose and stop it because he was afraid it could affect his position as president.

Warren Harding’s reputation as president was tarnished because he put a lot of wrong people in positions of power. The members of Harding’s cabinet—known as the “Ohio Gang”—had many substantial allegations of corruption leveled against them.

At a certain time, worried president Harding informed a newspaper editor, William Allen White that, although he (Harding) could easily handle his enemies, he had problem handling his friends.

There is another incident which strongly supports the notion that Warren Harding didn’t care to get involved in the scandal: In June, 1923, while Harding was making a presidential visit to Alaska, he asked the Commerce Secretary at the time (Herbert Hoover), if he was aware of any great scandal in their administration, and whether the nation would benefit anything if he exposes, or buries it.

Hoover responded by advising the president (Harding) to expose any scandal, but Harding refused to do so because he was afraid of political repercussions.

astra-53 [7]
<span>This is true. The British army was much larger and much more developed, but the colonial army managed to win by winning the support of the people and of foreigners. They were helped by British enemies such as France who was willing to give not only weapons and money, but also its navy and its generals with their war expertise. </span>

kenny6666 [7]
The statement that Pinochet was a fascist is true because he took power with the aid of the CIA and killed Allende and repressed his people with the police  and military with heinous crimes like slitting their stomachs and throwing them into the ocean from helicopters and torturing them for their political views. He disappeared many men who were of progressive politics.
