What conclusion about the February movement is shown by the government's imposition of curfew?

Correct answer: The government saw the movement as a threat to public order and power

The direct answer is C: the government saw the movement as a threat to public order and its power. A curfew restricts movement and keeps people off the streets, usually because authorities fear protest, violence, unrest, or loss of control. The reasoning is: people were demonstrating and demanding change; the government responded with a coercive restriction rather than accepting the demands; this response shows that it considered the movement serious and threatening; therefore option C follows. Option A is wrong because a curfew is not proof that a movement has ended; it may show that the government is trying to suppress it. Option B is wrong because imposing a curfew does not mean the Tsar accepted democracy; it suggests resistance and repression. Option C is correct because the action reveals fear about public order and political authority. Option D is wrong because a curfew does not show that workers had received all demands; in fact, continued restrictions suggest unresolved conflict. The government response must be interpreted carefully: it shows its attitude toward the movement, not automatic success. Memory cue: when a government uses curfew against protesters, read it as a sign of control, fear, and perceived threat.
