1. I believe the correct answer is: D. He feared the loss of life that would be involved in a conventional invasion of Japan.

     The most likely reason President Truman decided to use atomic bombs against Japan is that he was in fear of the loss of life that would be involved in a conventional invasion of Japan, after he personally saw witnessed the human costs of intense front-line combat in France during the First World War. Truman was convinced that he would lose his life, if the war continued for few more months.

2. I believe the correct answer is: A. He declared a bank holiday and then kept most banks closed.

     Franklin Roosevelt attempted to restore trust in the banking system issuing an executive order to temporarily close all of the nation's banks and declared four-days of national banking holiday, starting on the March 6th.

4. I believe the correct answer is: C. on margin.

5. I believe the correct answer is: D. Their governments were controlled indirectly by the Soviet Union.

Joseph Stalin used puppet governments to keep control many Eastern European countries.
