Based on the Washington Post article "Nixon Resigns," it is logical to infer that many people wondered if Nixon secured a promise of amnesty or pardon from special prosecutor Leon Jaworski’s office in exchange for resigning.

Which evidence from the text supports this?


a) The article states that two key members of Nixon’s administration—Gerald Ford and Henry Kissinger—have been in touch with Jaworski and would continue to serve the country without fear of prosecution.


b) The article mentions that Nixon did not confess to the “high crimes and misdemeanors” that he’s been charged with by the House Judiciary Committee.


c) The article includes a quote from Jaworski stating that there was no agreement or understanding between Nixon and the special prosecutor’s office related to Nixon’s resignation.


d) The article states that Gerald Ford indicated that he planned to pardon Nixon for any crimes that Jaworski’s office convicted him of.

Respuesta :

c) The article includes a quote from Jaworski stating that there was no agreement or understanding between Nixon and the special prosecutor’s office related to Nixon’s resignation.

Option C is the best choice. It says that Jaworski did not have any agreement with Nixon over his resignation. The quote is "there has been no agreement or understanding of any sort between the President or his representatives and the special prosecutor relating in any way to the President's resignation."  He further goes on to state that there "was not asked for any such agreement or understanding and offered none." The only reason Jaworski would need to specifically make a statement is if many people were wondering whether or not Nixon's resignation meant that he would be pardoned for his wrong judgments. The other options do not work at all.
