During the era of McCarthyism, the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) targeted several groups beyond those suspected of communist involvement. The correct options that apply include:

  • Military servicemen
  • Members of the LGBTQ community
  • Nazi sympathizers
  • Hollywood actors, entertainers, writers, and directors

While some specific members of the US Senate may have faced scrutiny, the Senate as an institution was not a primary target of HUAC investigations in the same way as the other groups listed. Therefore, it is not typically included in the groups targeted by HUAC during this time.
