A)One way in which the author's point of view is reflected in his description of United States actions against Cuba

The author's point of view is reflected in this phrase; "..., in the near future, the United States using the pretext of an allegedly growing threat to the Western Hemisphere, will embark on a long process of increasing the pressure on governments of the Latin American countries to work out additional threats against Cuba."

Explanation:

The author's perspective is seen in his use of words like "pretext," and "allegedly". The author is thus saying that the United States is not straightforward, or completely honest in the claims of a threat to the Western Hemisphere. This phrase also shows that the author believes that the United States was being unnecessarily hard on the Cuban nation by threatening them.

We can sense that the author of the text favors Cuba as against the United States. In order to determine the author's perspective, careful attention ought to be given to certain key words in the text.
