What point did both nikita khrushchev and richard nixon both try to make in the "kitchen debate"? a. that choice was the most important element to potential home owners b. that working-class people could afford to buy houses c. that the government should not be involved in building homes d. that people did not care about owning their own homes

The correct answer is B.

During the Kitchen Debate, Richard Nixon and Nikita Khrushchev were examining a model of a typical American home that the average American could afford. However, during this debate, Khrushchev challenged Nixon as he felt that not all Americans could have a home like this, while in the Soviet Union you would be guaranteed a home just for being a citizen. Khrushchev goes onto argue that even peasants in the Soviet Union can afford a standard house.
