I just took this test minutes ago.
The correct answer is:
The article states that the leaders of Nixon’s own party pressured him to resign.
"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty." (A) contains a hyperbole.
In literature, a hyperbole is a stylistic exaggeration. It is used to give a dramatic effect to a statement.
Here, the hyperbole is: "pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe." There are of course prices that the U.S. are going to refuse to pay, burdens they will not afford to carry, etc., but by exaggerating these commitments, Kennedy sounds more resolute and more persuasive.

I was looking forward to spending time with my cousins last summer.
