To address the questions regarding McCarthy's claims in "The Communist Threat," let's analyze each one based on historical context and available evidence.

The answer is: No. McCarthy says there are communists but does not identify any.

This option is correct. Historically, Senator Joseph McCarthy was known for making broad accusations without providing concrete evidence or naming specific individuals. His infamous list of supposed communists in the government was never substantiated with verifiable details, leading to widespread criticism and skepticism about his claims.

This option is incorrect. While McCarthy often suggested that communists were being protected or supported by others in the government, he failed to provide specific names or evidence to back these claims.

This option is partially correct but not the best choice. McCarthy's claims were often vague, and while he might have mentioned a few names, these were not sufficient to substantiate his broader claim of 57 communists.

This option is incorrect. Providing a couple of examples, especially without solid evidence, does not sufficiently support a claim of 57 individuals.

To answer this question, we need to consider the historical context of McCarthy's accusations. John Service was one of the individuals McCarthy accused of being a communist sympathizer. McCarthy's evidence often consisted of circumstantial or indirect associations rather than direct proof of communist activities.

In summary, McCarthy's claims were largely based on accusations without substantial evidence, leading to significant controversy and debate over his methods and the validity of his assertions.
