In their confusion and bewilderment of the economic chaos that started in 1991, many russians turned to the orthodox religion for answers. why was it very difficult for the orthodox church to provide new direction and inspiration for many russians (and many russians ultimately got alienated by the church all together)?

Orthodox leaders appeared to be highly conservative in outlook and unresponsive to Russia's socio-economic ills

Explanation:

Bolshevik Revolution threw Russia's church into chaos, effectively stranding the fledgling Russian Orthodox mission in America.

While the whole country of Russia was suffering from decaying infrastructure, the Church also got focused on "material" matters, trying to regain control of land and buildings taken away from them during the communist era.

The Orthodox Church in the 1990s suffered from weak leadership, that was moreover tarnished by collaboration of some clerics with the KGB during the Soviet era.

explanation:

there are two statements that are incorrect.

1. the marshall plan was a lend lease program. it was an economic plan that europe redevelop itself after wwii.

2. einstein didn't really do anything to further the allied cause in building the bomb. he merely sent a letter to fdr telling him (in 1939) that if the united states entered the war, perhaps it would be wise to build the bomb before germany did. i would say this answer is incorrect, but when america entered the war 2 years later, fdr thought it might be a good idea to take einstein's advice.

the 4th choice is definitely so wrong that is likely the single answer of this question

answer; i believe that the correct answer is (agriculture);
