The excerpt describes an encounter with the Bedouin tribe in the Negev Desert. The Bedouin tents had small antennas attached to battery-operated televisions, many of which were tuned to the American soap opera Dallas. The author initially found it unclear why the nomadic desert dwellers would be interested in the show, considering their lifestyle and surroundings.
Based on this excerpt, a claim that can be supported is that the Bedouin tribe in the Negev Desert had access to and watched American television shows like Dallas. This is evident from the description of the tents equipped with small antennas and battery-operated televisions tuned to Dallas. The author's surprise at the Bedouin tribe's interest in the show further supports this claim.
It is important to note that the excerpt does not provide information on the extent of the tribe's interest or viewership of American television shows, apart from Dallas. Additionally, the excerpt does not provide information on the specific reasons why the Bedouin tribe was interested in American soap operas.
As a result of fears regarding the Cold War, many Americans supported Senator McCarthy well into the 1960s. So, the correct answer option is C.
Senator Joseph McCarthy, a Republican from Wisconsin, rose to national prominence in the early 1950s through his relentless pursuit of suspected communists and communist sympathizers in the United States. McCarthy used a series of hearings and public accusations to identify and denounce individuals, often without substantial evidence, as being affiliated with or sympathetic to the Communist Party. His tactics led to fear and suspicion within American society, resulting in what is commonly known as "McCarthyism."
The fear of communism and the perceived threat it posed during the Cold War era drove many Americans to support McCarthy's efforts. Some saw him as a protector of American values and national security, while others may have been afraid of being labeled as communist sympathizers themselves. The anti-communist sentiment was pervasive, and McCarthy's actions resonated with those who were deeply concerned about the spread of communism.
While McCarthy's influence and public support waned over time, especially following the televised Army-McCarthy hearings in 1954 and his eventual censure by the Senate, the fear of communism and the broader legacy of McCarthyism endured well into the 1960s and beyond, influencing American politics, foreign policy, and society during the early years of the Cold War.
