Answer to Question 1

Answer: An ideal response will:
1. Note that diplomacy would entail negotiating with North Korea to achieve an outcome that is acceptable to both the United States and North Korea without using the military.
2. Outline a potential diplomatic solution, such as an agreement that North Korea can continue to use nuclear materials for producing electricity, but not for producing weapons.
3. Conclude that reaching a diplomatic solution to North Korea's nuclear program is unlikely to occur.
