In Dr. Seuss's controversial children's story, The Butter
Battle Book, two factions who oppose each other for petty
reasons create ever-more-elaborate weapons with which
to threaten each other. Eventually each faction develops a
weapon that can destroy the other side utterly.
Although perhaps not obvious to the children who read the
story, The Butter Battle Book mirrors the arms race of the
Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union
that took place between the late 1940s and roughly 1990.
Through the story Seuss makes a serious statement
against the Cold War's necessity.
Which statement most accurately describes the inference the author is
making and the historical context on which the inference is based?
A. The inference is Seuss's opinion, and the historical context is the
collapse of the Soviet Union.
B. The inference is the arms race between the two factions, and the
historical context is its pettiness.
C. The inference is that Seuss is making a statement, and the
historical context is the Cold War.
D. The inference is The Butter Battle Book, and the historical context
is the arms race.
