The correct responses regarding the areas where Reagan achieved his goals are:

  1. cut taxes and some government social programs
  2. increased funds for military expansion
  3. eased tensions between the Soviet Union and the United States

Reagan did cut taxes and some social programs, increased military spending significantly, and eventually played a role in easing Cold War tensions with the Soviet Union, particularly in his later years in office. However, he did not succeed in balancing the national debt; in fact, the national debt increased during his presidency.
