What is the current state of the relationship between the U.S. and Russia?

Question

1. They have a strong alliance against the "collective West."
2. They have a deconfliction hotline to avoid mid-air collisions.
3. They suspended their participation in the New START nuclear arms control treaty.
4. They are directly involved in the Ukraine war.

 

(a) Statement 1 and 2 are correct

(b) Statement 2 is correct

(c) Statement 2 and 3 are correct

(d) None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (c) Statement 2 and 3 are correct

 

 

Explanation: The article states that Russia suspended its participation in the New START nuclear arms control treaty, the last of the Cold War-era weapons control mechanisms between the two countries, last month. The other statements are incorrect as the U.S. is not directly involved in the Ukraine war, and while they have a deconfliction hotline, it is not evidence of a strong alliance.
