Answer 1

The correct option is B [A] and [R] are true and [R] is the correct justification for [A].

Vietnam at that time, was a poor nation but rich in dense forests. The Vietnamese knew these forests well and took advantage of a war technique called Guerrilla warfare. Guerrilla warriors don’t use regular military techniques. They are small in number and harass larger forces using unconventional techniques. Vietnamese communist fighters operated from forests. They came out to attack American soldiers. After such attacks, they would go back and hide in the jungles.
