Which is NOT listed as an example of American soft power in the chapter?
AEducational exchange programs
BGlobal food chains like McDonald's
CNATO military bases overseas
DThe Internet and free-speech promotion
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. NATO military bases overseas
1. The chapter lists examples of US soft power.
2. Educational exchanges, internet/free-speech, and global food chains (McDonald's, Subway, Pizza Hut, Burger King) are all listed.
3. NATO military bases are hard power (coercion), not soft power — the odd one out.
