Question

34According to the information in the article, which of the following most likely happened in Algeria in 1992?A The Algerian military was unopposed when it annulled the country's democratic elections.B A serious military intervention in Algerian politics encountered, in general, no liberal opposition.C Algeria's military and liberal elite conspired to overthrow the country's democratically elected Islamist government.D A civil war between Islamists and the Algerian military nearly destroyed the country.E Having lost the support of liberals, Islamists, and the Algerian military, Algeria's democracy fell apart.

Answer 1

A alternativa correta é a B.

De acordo com o texto, os liberais apoiaram a intervenção militar na Algeria e, quando os islâmicos estavam prestes a vencer as eleições, provocaram uma guerra civil que durou anos.

Esse fato é usado como exemplo para a justificativa de pausa na democracia para protegê-la, que não funcionou no caso da Algeria. Ainda, o autor afirma que muitos liberais odeiam mais os islâmicos do que acreditam na democracia.
