The 24th Amendment prohibited poll taxes or other taxes as qualifications for voting.

Poll taxes had been a way states had discriminated against black voters, by using their lower income status and poll taxes as a way to prevent them from going to the polls. During the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, this was challenged. The 24th Amendment, ratified in 1964, said: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax," and added: "The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

Elan Coil [88]

The correct answer is "Europe struggled to recover from a lost generation."

After World War I, the Germany economy was in ruins. This is because they were held responsible for the beginning of the war and were forced to pay reparations (as decided in the Treaty of Versailles).

On the other end of the world, the US had a booming economy right after World War I. The 1920's in the US was an era of economic prosperity in which individuals had more disposable income to buy goods/materials.

France and Great Britain still remain allies after this war, as they both have a common goal of recovering from the war and ensuring Germany does not gain significant political power.

This leaves the first statement. The "Lost Generation" is a phrase used to display how a significant amount of the population was lost during the war due to the high number of deaths in World War I.
