Answer:
The right answer is:
c. The Americans had advanced as far as the China-Korea border and the Chinese were worried about the security of their borders and a possible invasion.
Explanation:
The direct motive of the Chinese entering the Korean War (1950-53) to support their North-Korean communist brethren was fear of a US invasion. After getting the communist withdrawal from Seoul and pushing them far north, the US forces approached the Chinese border. The route they were following was similar to that followed by the Japanese when they invaded Manchuria. That was a very fresh memory for China that had just emerged from two decades of war, including 8 years of bitter fighting with the Japanese. For them, it was preferable to fight in foreign territory than in their own territory. Neither Kim Il-sung, the North Korean leader, nor Soviet leader Joseph Stalin had expected the strong American reaction to the northern invasion of the South. For China, getting involved was also an act of communist solidarity, but the main motive was a deep concern about security.

Settling the Borderlands As conquistadors explored new territories, they claimed the areas for Spain.

Correct answer (from choices shown in comment): C: Many members still wanted to keep the king involved in government.
<u>Context/detail</u>:
The 3rd Estate represented the "ordinary" or "common" citizens of France, as opposed to clergy (1st Estate) and nobility (2nd Estate). The 3rd Estate was the bulk of the people (98% of the population) of France, all considered "commoners." (The clergy and nobility were the 1st and 2nd Estates.) So, the 3rd Estate included wealthy, bourgeois wine merchants and lawyers and professionals, as well as day laborers in the city and peasant farmers in the country.
The beginning phase of the French Revolution was led by the bourgoisie -- the wealthier, business class within the 3rd Estate. They were not seeking a complete upheaval of the government, but a situation that would give them greater political rights and a government that would be advantageous for their pursuit of business profits. So the first phase of the Revolution was moderate in its goals, wanting the king to remain but be a constitutional monarch. It was later that the Revolution turned radical and began to move against the king and his family, eventually executing both the king and the queen.
