Read the passage.Berlin Wall TunnelAfter Germany was defeated in World War II, it was divided into two sectors. The western part became West Germany, and the eastern part became the Soviet-controlled German Democratic Republic (GDR), or East Germany. Although Berlin was entirely inside East Germany, the city was also divided, with East Berlin becoming the capital of East Germany and West Berlin becoming part of West Germany. In 1961, East Germany erected a wall between East and West Berlin to prevent residents from defecting, or escaping, from East Germany's oppressive communist regime. Concerned about family and friends stuck in East Berlin, a group of West Berlin students came up with a plan. After setting up camp in an abandoned bakery, they spent five months excavating a secret tunnel that wound its way under the wall to an East Berlin apartment building. The students instructed their loved ones in East Berlin to come to the apartment building and gain entrance with a special code word. The rescuers crawled through the tunnel, met the escapees, and guided them to freedom.What is the main, or central, idea of the passage?In order to rescue loved ones trapped in East Berlin, a group of West Berliners dug an underground passage.To prevent East Germans from fleeing to West Germany, the GDR constructed a wall between East and West Berlin.To escape from the GDR, many East Berliners crawled through a tunnel that led to freedom in West Berlin.Submit

The Berlin Wall separated West Berlin from East Berlin and surrounding East Germany from 1961 to 1989. The following is an excerpt from a speech given by President John F. Kennedy on June 26, 1963, in West Berlin. Kennedy's speech showed his solidarity with the city's residents and attacked the communist system of East Germany.     Freedom has many difficulties and democracy is not perfect. But we have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in—to prevent them from leaving us. I want to say on behalf of my countrymen who live many miles away on the other side of the Atlantic, who are far distant from you, that they take the greatest pride, that they have been able to share with you, even from a distance, the story of the last 18 years. I know of no town, no city, that has been besieged for 18 years that still lives with the vitality and the force, and the hope, and the determination of the city of West Berlin.     While the wall is the most obvious and vivid demonstration of the failures of the Communist system—for all the world to see—we take no satisfaction in it; for it is, as your Mayor has said, an offense not only against history but an offense against humanity, separating families, dividing husbands and wives and brothers and sisters, and dividing a people who wish to be joined together.     What is true of this city is true of Germany: Real, lasting peace in Europe can never be assured as long as one German out of four is denied the elementary right of free men, and that is to make a free choice. In 18 years of peace and good faith, this generation of Germans has earned the right to be free, including the right to unite their families and their nation in lasting peace, with good will to all people.     You live in a defended island of freedom, but your life is part of the main. So let me ask you, as I close, to lift your eyes beyond the dangers of today, to the hopes of tomorrow, beyond the freedom merely of this city of Berlin, or your country of Germany, to the advance of freedom everywhere, beyond the wall to the day of peace with justice, beyond yourselves and ourselves to all mankind.1Which statement best expresses a central idea in the passage?
