Questionable answers in AMSCO book

Test Preparation AP History & Social Sciences

I have some questions about some answers in AMSCO book. Chapter 26 ( about Cold War and Truman Administration)
Question 7 : Which was NOT an issue during the Korean War?
A. whether to expand the war by attacking China
B. whether North Korea had committed aggression
C. whether Congress should have declared war
D. the removal of Mac Arthur
E. the policies of containment and limited war</p>

I think it is A but the answer is B. I think that US had no intention of attacking China during the Korean War although China threatened to resist to protect its security.</p>

Question 8: Which of the following contributed LEAST to the growth of the Red Scare in the 1950s?
A. loss of atomic bomb secrets to the Soviet
B. Army-McCarthy hearings
C. Alger Hiss case
D. fall of China to the Communists
E investigations by the House Un-American Activities Committee</p>

I think McCarthy is the MOST contribution to the growth of the Red Scare. But the answer is B.</p>

Where are you getting the answers from? I found this answer key here ([Amsco</a> Answer Key](<a href=“http://teacher.ocps.net/stephen.hansen/APUSH%20Documents/Amsco%20Review%20Questions%20Answer%20Key.htm]Amsco”>http://teacher.ocps.net/stephen.hansen/APUSH%20Documents/Amsco%20Review%20Questions%20Answer%20Key.htm)) which everybody seems to recommend, but I disagree with some of the answers. I wish there was an <em>official</em> answer key we could acquire from somewhere.</p>

Since I’m nowhere near where you are in terms of progress in the book, I’m afraid I cannot help with choosing what I think is the correct answer. But, I have noticed that all of the questions in the book usually come from direct references from the chapter… so you should be able to find the answer somewhere in the chapter.</p>
