Question

A country with a government that deliberately places socialist principles into action is

a. communist, like the European Union
b. communist, like China
c. democratic, like Cuba
d. democratic, like Iraq

Answer 1

It is communist: socialism and communism are very similar: you could say that communism is a more extreme version of socialism.

from the two options A and B only b is correct: the European Union is not a socialist country (nor is it a country: it's an union of countries), and China is.
