According to the author, his countrymen should ___________________.

• A. read the story of other nations
• B. have a better understanding of other nations
• C. not react to other actions
• D. have vital contacts with other nations

Answer 1

The correct option is B have a better understanding of other nations

Option B: As it's mentioned in the line "many nations... that they should begin to understand a little of one another's historical experience" the phrase in B is correct.
Option A: These words are neither mentioned nor implied by the passage.
Option C: This is the opposite of what the passage says on the whole.
Option D: The phrase "vital contacts" isn't mentioned in the passage. The paragraph focuses on an understanding between nations. It does not mention having 'vital contacts'.
Hence A, C and D are incorrect.
