The correct answer is B (but D could also work...)

Congress has two houses: the senate and the house of representatives. The Answer A, <span>president pro tempore of the Senate is wrong- this person is not even the most important person in senate, only the second most important. </span>In fact the highest person in the senate is the Vice President of the United States. On the other hand, the highest person in the house of representatives is the Speaker of the House. So we know it's either B or D.  Now, the question is tricky, as neither of the chambers of the senate is officially more importnat. Additionally vice-president is higher in the line to the succession to the President's office.

However, it is usually assumed that the Speaker represents the Congress as a whole, and that's why i'd go with B.

Did the 1920s or 1930s have a greater impact on american life
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

(Hope this helps can I pls have brainlist (crown)☺️)

Explanation:

Between 1920 and 1929, the country's overall wealth more than quadrupled, ushering many Americans into an opulent but unfamiliar "consumer culture." People from coast to coast bought the same things, listened to the same music, danced the same dances, and even used the same lingo (due to countrywide advertising and the growth of chain businesses).

Many Americans were uneasy with this new, urban, and even racy "mass culture;" in fact, the 1920s brought more tension than joy to many–perhaps even most–Americans.

Prohibition. Prohibition was a national prohibition on the sale, manufacture, and transportation of alcohol that lasted from 1920 to 1933 and had ramifications in every aspect of everyday life, from law and economics to religion and entertainment. It was one of America's most significant cultural changes, for better or worse.

The main causes of America's economic boom in the 1920s were technological advancements that led to mass production of goods, electrification of the country, new mass marketing techniques, the availability of low-cost credit, and increased employment, all of which resulted in a large number of consumers.
