• A. People witnessed forced labour.
• B. Students supported the military.
• C. Aung San Suu Kyi protested against the military rule.
• D. Socialist policies gained people's approval.

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

Socialist policies gained people's approval.

Socialist policies helped the Gaddafi regime achieve major developments in Libya. In Myanmar, the socialist policies did not work well. Peasants were forced to send their children to serve the army and work at mines in horrible conditions. Military Generals who ruled Myanmar were accused of gross human rights abuses. Myanmar witnessed forced labour and forcible relocation of civilians. Students did not support military, they took the lead in staging protests against the military rule.
