Answer 1

1. **A. al-Qaeda attacks on September 11th** The War on Terror, officially the Global War on Terrorism, was the U.S. response to the attacks of September 11, 2001, which were carried out by al-Qaeda.2. **C. is a militant Islamist network founded by a man named Osama bin Laden** Al-Qaeda is a transnational militant Islamist organization founded by Osama bin Laden. While bin Laden was a key figure in the September 11th attacks, he *was* the leader of al-Qaeda, not the organization itself. The Taliban was a separate group, although allied with al-Qaeda at the time.3. **B. Afghanistan** Al-Qaeda's origins trace back to the late 1980s, during the Soviet-Afghan War, in Afghanistan.4. **D. none of the above** According to the Department of Defense casualty website, over 7,000 U.S. service members have died in the War on Terror (post-9/11 operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, and other locations). Therefore, none of the provided options are accurate.5. **D. allowed Al-Qaeda to regroup** While some critics argue that the War on Terror also strengthened the Taliban (C), a common criticism is that the focus on conventional warfare in Iraq and Afghanistan diverted resources and attention, allowing al-Qaeda to decentralize and regroup in other regions.
