Read the excerpt from a speech president Ronald Reagan made in 1987 after Mikhail Gorbachev implemented glasnost and perestroika in the Soviet Union: Are these the beginnings of profound changes in the Soviet state? Or are they token gestures, intended to raise false hopes in the West or to strengthen the Soviet system without changing it? In the excerpt, Reagan suggests:. a. The principles of democracy are spreading.. b. The Soviet Union is responding to U. S. pressure. c. The Soviet Union still can't be trusted. d. The Cold War is over

The correct answer is B) The Soviet Union is responding to U.S. pressure.

Reagan suggests that "The Soviet Union is responding to U.S. pressure."

In his speech of 1987, where United States President Ronald Reagan made references to the Berlin Wall, he also talked about the kinds of reformations instilled by Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.

Reagen said the following: "We hear much from Moscow about a new policy of reform and openness. Some political prisoners have been released. Certain foreign news broadcasts are no longer being jammed. Some economic enterprises have been permitted to operate with greater freedom from state control."

He referred to Glasnost, the new Soviet reformation that granted some liberties to Russians, and Perestroika, the economic reformation that allowed foreign investment in the Soviet Union. Year later. these two programs were direct causes of the split of the Soviet Union.
