7. Why does McCarthy likely mention John Service and Gustave Duran in paragraphs 12-14?
A. McCarthy uses them as examples of communist corruption in the State Department,
as both men received better positions despite suspicion of communist sympathies.
B. McCarthy condemns Service and Duran for their investment in foreign politics, thus
condemning the State Department for ignoring outside enemy infiltration into its own
division.
C. McCarthy uses Service and Duran as examples of the State Department's failure to
gather conclusive evidence against communists within the government.
D. McCarthy mentions Service and Duran in order to back his claims of knowing 57
communists within the State Department; these men are just 2 of the 57 on his list.

Returning from vietnam, we were given a parade. crowds of screaming people waving signs — not just on one road, one day. no, they were everywhere. every day. on the streets, on the television, on the radio. a hot, angry tangle of shaking fists and ugly words that threatened us like a monster with a hundred heads. our country had chewed us up and spit us out, and now we were being treated as if it were our fault. which sentence best uses figurative language to match the paragraph's tone? a. our feet were frozen in place as the street itself strained to hold us back. b. i felt unappreciated and condemned for actions i had thought were heroic. c. i hadn't expected to find myself in a rags-to-riches situation such as this. d. we had come home to a feeding frenzy and were being treated as bait.
