Answer 1

The correct comparison between the U.S. response to Soviet actions in Afghanistan and Poland is:

• The United States supported rebels in both countries.

In Afghanistan, the U.S. provided support to the Mujahideen fighters who were resisting the Soviet invasion in the late 1970s and 1980s. In Poland, the U.S. supported the Solidarity movement, which was a trade union and social movement that opposed Soviet influence and sought greater independence for Poland in the early 1980s.
