B. Many people lost their jobs during the Great Depression.
the phrase “Great Depression” is a proper noun so it needs to be capitalized
D. "Neither my friends nor my family cares about me," said Finlay.
In this sentence there are two subjects, "friends" and "family". Since the conjunction "neither...nor" is used, the subject-verb agreement gets a little tricky. If both subjects were singular, as in he or she, the verb must agree with a singular subject. This is because it is either one or the other not both. In this sentence, one subject is plural, friends, and one subject is singular, family. Family is considered a collective noun, so even though there are many people in the family, there is only one family. Since family is closest to the verb and it is singular, "to care" must be in the singular form. Option B and C are wrong because the verbs "were" and "are" are plural verbs.

The beginning of the essay is a strong sentence that keeps adding elements of suspense as it develops, eventually making the sentence overloaded with information (especially considering that it is the first sentence of the essay). Nevertheless, the entire sentence seems to describe a single action.
The second sentence is a complex sentence that, in contrast to the first, has several smaller steps in the development of the plot. The steps are divided but complementary; they happen independently of each other and add to each other's meaning, at the same time.
