Answer and Explanation:
President Hoover initially responded to the challenges of the Great Depression by telling Americans to remain strong, and requesting that organizations and businesses do whatever they can to keep workers employed. In attempt to inspire Americans, he wrongly predicted that the worst conditions would never be experienced, and that it would be foolish for anyone to lack confidence in the country’s economy which was failing at the time.
Much later, deep into the Great Depression, President Hoover responded a bit better by giving jobs to unemployed workers, raising prices of crops produced by farmers, providing loans for banks that were failing, and assisting troubled local and state charity organizations with aid.
Unfortunately, his responses which could only help a few people, were not strong enough to keep the country’s economy from plummeting and becoming greatly depressed.
