Answer 2

1- The correct answer is A. In 1964, students poured into Mississippi to take part in the Freedom Summer.

Freedom Summer was a series of protests of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. This campaign was conducted in the summer of 1964 by the initiative of the SNCC in the state of Mississippi to include the maximum number of black voters on the lists.

2- The correct answer is B. John F. Kennedy "flexible response" policy was intended to prepare the nation to fight any size or type of conflict.

The flexible response was a political-military strategy adopted in the 1960s by President Kennedy.

With this strategic solution, President Kennedy planned to establish a more articulated and modern military apparatus, capable of responding with adequate and proportional means to any possible threat to the national security of the United States or of its system of global alliances. This strategy, developed by the Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara and General Maxwell Taylor, supplanted the previous theory of Massive Retaliation, adopted by President Dwight Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, which instead provided for immediate use of nuclear weapons in case of a global crisis that would endanger the security of the nation.
