Read the passage from a speech President Kennedy gave in Berlin in 1963.There are many people in the world who really don't understand, or say they don't, what is the great issue between the free world and the Communist world. Let them come to Berlin. There are some who say that communism is the wave of the future. Let them come to Berlin. And there are some who say in Europe and elsewhere we can work with the Communists. Let them come to Berlin. And there are even a few who say that it is true that communism is an evil system, but it permits us to make economic progress. Lass' sic nach Berlin kommen. Let them come to Berlin.
Answer

B

C
see first-hand the evils of communism.
D
study the benefits of communism.
Explanation
Kennedy repeats “Let them come to Berlin” to challenge people who misunderstand or defend communism to visit the divided city and witness its reality. He presents Berlin as evidence of the harms of the Communist system, so the best choice is “see first-hand the evils of communism.”
