Dean Brock · Answer 1

Mao did not want to rid China of the Red Guard when he launched the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution.

Answer: Option 2.

Explanation:

The Cultural Revolution, formally the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, was a sociopolitical movement in the People's Republic of China from 1966 until 1976. China's youth responded by forming Red Guard groups around the country, which split into rival factions and sometimes open battle for fighting the four olds.

The Four Olds were: Old Customs, Old Culture, Old Habits, and Old Ideas. The campaign to destroy the Four Olds began in Beijing on August 19, 1966, shortly after the launch of the Cultural Revolution.
