Question:

What were the two reasons that the Polish government imposed martial law in Poland in the early 1980s?

  • to gain control from the Soviet Union
  • to reward the workers of Poland with increased wages
  • to prevent labor union activities in the country
  • to have greater control over people fleeing the nation
  • to put an end to the Solidarity organization

Answer:

The answer is the third and fifth one:

  • to prevent labor union activities in the country
  • to put an end to the Solidarity organization

Explanation: (that's from my tutorial that came along with the test)

Eventually, the Polish government came to see Solidarity as a direct threat to its power. In response, it declared martial law in Poland in 1981. The government’s military forces banned Solidarity from meeting and arrested Walesa. The government also ordered its army to suppress the activities by all other labor unions. However, constant public protests forced the government to release Walesa a year later.

Following Walesa’s release, Solidarity had to meet in secret. However, public protests against martial law and the ban on Solidarity continued.

In June 1983, Pope John Paul II visited Walesa and offered him advice on behalf of the Catholic Church. John Paul II convinced the Solidarity leader to work with the Polish government to end martial law. Under the Pope’s guidance, Walesa asked his followers to end the street demonstrations and protests in Poland. In return, the Polish government lifted martial law a month later.
