Answer 1

Answer:

  The article states that the leaders of Nixon’s own party pressured him to resign.

Explanation:

  In the article written in 1974 by Carroll Kilpatrick, it is said that Nixon "bowed to pressures from the public and leaders of his party" after two years of the Watergate scandal. The president felt that he hadn´t political support in Congress.

  His family wanted to stay in as president and to fight the charges against him, this goes against one of the options given.
