Based on the washington post article "nixon resigns," it is logical to conclude that nixon‘s decision to leave office was one that was widely supported.
which evidence from the text supports this?
the article states that the leaders of nixon’s own party pressured him to resign.
the article states that vice president gerald ford demanded that nixon resign.
the article mentions that nixon’s family wanted him to leave office sooner rather than later.
the article describes that many of nixon’s friends were excited about his decision to step down.

I just took this test minutes ago.

The correct answer is:

The article states that the leaders of Nixon’s own party pressured him to resign.

  The article states that the leaders of Nixon’s own party pressured him to resign.

Explanation:

  In the article written in 1974 by Carroll Kilpatrick, it is said that Nixon "bowed to pressures from the public and leaders of his party" after two years of the Watergate scandal. The president felt that he hadn´t political support in Congress.

  His family wanted to stay in as president and to fight the charges against him, this goes against one of the options given.

  I hope the answer helps you.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
