Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Read the cartoon again:
The right hand holds the UN globe with an olive branch. The left hand is a spiked war glove. The captions say that if the right one does not get you, the left one will.

Step 2: Work out the message:
If peaceful measures through the UN do not give the USA what it wants, it can use its military strength. So the message is about what happens when the UN fails to serve the US.

Step 3: Check option (A):
If UN fails then the US can control the world by its military power. This is what the two hands and the words say. So (A) is correct.

Step 4: Check options (B), (C) and (D):
Option (B), economic superiority of the US, is wrong because no money or trade is shown. Option (C), veto power of permanent members, is wrong because no veto or Security Council is drawn. Option (D), the US as the largest contributor to the UN, is wrong because the picture shows no funds or payments.

Final Answer:
The message is that if the UN fails, the US can control the world by its military power. This is option (A).

Answer 2

Step 1: Read the cartoon:
A tall man holds a globe marked UN, with an olive branch, in his right hand. His left hand is a huge spiked fist marked WAR. The captions say: If the right one do not get you, then the left one will.

Step 2: Understand the message:
The man stands for the USA. The right hand shows the use of the UN and peaceful means. The left hand shows the use of military power if the UN route does not work. So the cartoon shows how the USA can influence the whole world.

Step 3: Check option (A) Influence of UNO on the World:
The UN is only one of the two hands of the man. It is not the one that decides. So (A) is wrong.

Step 4: Check option (B) Influence of USA on UNO:
The cartoon does not show the US pressing the UN in particular. The point is that the US uses either the UN or war to get its way in the world. So (B) is too narrow and wrong.

Step 5: Check options (C) and (D):
Option (C), Relevance of UNO, is wrong because the cartoon is not asking whether the UN is needed. Option (D), Influence of USA on the World, fits: the US decides whether to act through the UN or through war.

Final Answer:
The cartoon depicts the influence of the USA on the World. This is option (D).

Answer 3

Step 1: Recall the time of the cartoon:
The cartoon shows the USA as the one power that can act through the UN or by war. It was drawn when the world had a single superpower after the Cold War ended in 1991.

Step 2: Ask why it has lost relevance:
Today the power is spread. The European Union, China, Japan, India, ASEAN and Russia have become strong centres of power. The USA can no longer decide everything alone.

Step 3: Check option (A):
The UN has not become more powerful in this way, and the cartoon is not about its strength. So (A) is wrong.

Step 4: Check option (B):
New international organisations exist, but this does not say why the picture of one power controlling the world is old. So (B) is not the best reason.

Step 5: Check options (C) and (D):
Option (C) is wrong because countries still use the UN. Option (D) is right, since many new centres of power have emerged, so the world is no longer ruled by one hand.

Final Answer:
The cartoon is not relevant today because many new centres of power have emerged. This is option (D).
