Question

All of the following statements are true, except? 
 

• A. Mexico and Chile did not experience the general social crises that are common to the majority of Latin American countries.
• B. President Eisenhower continued in practice the theory that economic aid was the best defense against communist incursion into Latin Americ(a)
• C. The Good Neighbour Policy favoured a multilateral interpretation of the Monroe Doctrine.
• D. The traditional U.S. approach in Latin America was to protect the status quo.

Hint:

"Except" questions require validating all options - isolate the one not fully supported by the passage.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

- Step 1: The passage notes that Eisenhower rejected Brazil's proposal of a Marshall Plan and only later initiated limited aid efforts.
- Step 2: Though he set up an Inter-American bank, the aid wasn't presented as an organized anti-communist doctrine.
- Step 3: Unlike Kennedy's bold ideological aid proposal, Eisenhower's actions lacked conviction and scale.
- Step 4: Thus, while other statements are supported by the passage, (b) exaggerates Eisenhower's alignment with anti-communist aid policy.
