The battle between the Monitor and the Merrimack can be seen as a draw in a short-term, however, it was really a victory for the US in the long term.
During the Battle of Hampton Roads, the Merrimack was sent by the South to try to break the US blockade that was situated around the Southern Coastal lines. As the Merrimack was a Ironclad ship (A wooden ship that was fitted with metal armor), and Armor-Piercing shells were not created yet, many of the cannon-balls were bouncing off of the ship. This prompted the US to send their own ironclad, called the "Monitor", which, like the Merrimack, was armored with iron plates, but the key feature was the revolving turret. Through the battle, the Monitor's turret was jammed after taking considerable hits from the Merrimack, but accomplished the goal of routing the Merrimack.
So in the end, it could be seen as a draw, as neither was able to destroy each other.

Answer:
The United States attempted to halt the communist revolution in Cuba by <u>weakening its economy to force cooperation.</u>
Explanation:
Before the emergence of Fidel Castro and his Communist regime in Cuba, the South American nation had good relations with the United States. Many Americans traveled to Cuba for holidays and even stayed there for years, and there were many other developments and good relations between the two.
But with Castro in power and the Communist revolution, the relationship deteriorated. Cuba was adamant to be a communist country, prohibiting American power or government to interfere in its affairs. But rather than just give up and ignore Cuba, the US decided to attack from non-military angles (for America had been defeated by the Cuban army in the Bay of Pigs invasion). America began restricting its citizens from doing any business with Cuba, prohibiting economic transactions which weakened the economy. This led Cuba to co-operate as there were no other options.
Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
