The correct responses regarding the areas where Reagan achieved his goals are:
- cut taxes and some government social programs
- increased funds for military expansion
- 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.
