Answer: She will either lose her brothers or her betrothed/ fiancé

Explanation:

The question is in relation to a painting called<em> Oath of the Horatii</em> that depicts the Horatii brothers pledging to fight to the death for the glory of Rome. It is based on a legend that 3 Horatii brothers from Rome would fight 3 Curiatii brothers from Alba Longa to decide a winner between the two cities in an ongoing dispute. This way they would not have to send both their armies and therefore save life.

As the brothers salute their father, their sister weeps because she is betrothed to one of the Curiatii brothers. This means that she is a loser in this dispute because she will either lose her brothers if the Curiatii kill them or she will lose her betrothed if her brothers kill the Curiatii.

She ends up twice the loser however as her surviving brother returns home and kills her when he sees her mourning her betrothed and cursing Rome.

The correct answer is 2) creating the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.


The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was created by the United States after World War II. Post World War II brought on a competition between the US and Soviet Union for global influence and power. In this competition, the US wanted to stop the spread of communism (aka containment). This was a goal of the federal government because the US feared that if communism spread to one country, that it would continue to spread to neighboring countries. This is what the government called the domino effect.


To prevent this domino effect, the US created NATO as a means to organize their European allies against the spread of communism.
