PART A: Which TWO of the following statements best summarize central ideas of the text(The Russian Revolution from CommonLit.org)
A. Red October was the culminating event in the path towards a communist revolution in Russia, as the Bolsheviks officially took power.
B. Though it preceded the revolution by more than two decades, the Great Famine of 1891 under czar Nicholas II’s rule was one of the causes of the Russian Revolution.
C. Whatever progress was made under Nicholas II was outweighed by the catastrophic mistakes and bloody tragedies that characterized his rule.
D. Nicholas II could have easily prevented the Russian Revolution and his own death if he had only abdicated sooner.
E. Lenin ultimately failed in his objective, as he died of a brain hemorrhage before he could obtain absolute power.
F. Despite the violence and cruelty of Lenin’s rule, it paled in comparison to that of Stalin’s regime.

B is wrong because at that time was Alexander III, he died in 1894 and the his son Nicholas II became czar, but undoubtedly the famine was one of the first signs of the population's dissatisfaction with the Romanov family -- the czarian family.

C yes, although the general condition of the people, mainly middle class, improved, there was still the problems of managing the government as a whole, by refusing to stablish a parliament, the Duma, also the problems in managing the famine, declaring War against Japan and entering World War I.

D would be case but it is not explictly expressed in the text, the text mentions that if Nicholas had stablished the Duma with real governing powers this would at least halted the Soviet Revolution. The text also shows that Nicholas fundamentally believed that God had given him power to rule over Russia.

E is wrong because the text makes it explicit that he had enjoyed more power than no czar had ever had before. Surely his whole project of defeating Capitalism around the planet never came to be but it does not deny the fact that he was powerful.

It cannot be F because there is no mention of Stalin in the text or any comparison of Lenin and Stalin.

The Russian revolution took place in the year 1917 when there was the final phase of world war I. The revolution removed Russia from the war and brought the transformation of the Russian empire into the USSR.

The two statements that best summarize the central ideas of the text are A and C.

The correct statements are:

A. Red October was the culminating event in the path towards a communist revolution in Russia, as the Bolsheviks officially took power.
C. Whatever progress was made under Nicholas II was outweighed by the catastrophic mistakes and bloody tragedies that characterized his rule are the best describing the final phase of world war 1 and the Russian revolution.

They are describing the circumstances and situations of the war and revolution phase. The sufferings of the people and the mass and huge hurdles and the destructive happenings that destroyed the economy.

Statements B, D, E, and F are also describing the Revolution and the war phase but they are not the best statements to describe or summarize the Russian revolution. They are mentioning the situation but not that brief and clear. They are providing some sort of that nearby situation but the A and C are providing the exact and clear summarization of the Russian revolution.
