Answer 1

Select:
- Gorbachev was willing to negotiate. (Yes)
- Americans objected to nuclear weapons. (Yes)

Do not select:
- Gorbachev and Reagan signed the INF Treaty. (That was the outcome/breakthrough, not a cause.)
- The Soviet Union shot down a Korean airliner. (That worsened tensions in 1983, it did not help produce the INF breakthrough.)
- The Soviet crackdown on Solidarity in Poland. (That increased Western hostility earlier, and was not a cause of the INF breakthrough.)
