Correct answers: a and d.

- a) True — each seized power by exploiting post–World War I political, economic, and social instability (interwar unrest, economic crisis, fear of socialism/communism).
- d) True — they suppressed independent labor unions and replaced them with state-controlled or regime-controlled organizations.

- b) Partly true for Mussolini and Hitler (heavy use of speeches, mass rallies); less accurately applies to Stalin and Franco in the sense of "protests."
- c) False — none fully nationalized all land; Stalin collectivized agriculture in the USSR, but Mussolini, Hitler, and Franco left significant private landholding and property structures in place.
