Choose the answer which best rewords the underlined portion. If you think the original wording is best, choose option A.

After the division of Vietnam, the United States supports South Vietnam.
  1. supports
  2. supported
  3. support
  4. will support
Explanation
Answer: B - The best choice is “supported”

“Support” and “supports” represent the present tense, meaning an action is currently happening. “Will support” implies an action that will happen in the future. Since the Vietnam War already occurred, the past tense form - “supported” - is the best verb to use in the sentence.
