Answer 1

The correct response is:

The United States condemned Soviet policy toward both countries.

This reflects the U.S. response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, which resulted in strong condemnation and support for Afghan resistance, contrasting with the response in Poland, where the U.S. criticized Soviet actions against the Solidarity movement and offered diplomatic support rather than military intervention.
