Question

13. How did President Kennedy respond to the information that the Soviet Union was placing nuclear missiles in Cuba?

Answer 1

Answer:

C. A naval blockade

Explanation:

After many long and difficult meetings, Kennedy decided to place a naval blockade, or a ring of ships, around Cuba. The aim of this "quarantine," as he called it, was to prevent the Soviets from bringing in more military supplies. He demanded the removal of the missiles already there and the destruction of the sites.
