Long lines at the gas pumps were a result of what economic problem?

History

Phoenix [80]3 years ago
3 0
In the 1970s, the supply of gas was affected by price controls imposed by the Nixon administration and then by an oil embargo by Arab members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).

As a political move aimed at pleasing voters, President Richard Nixon announced in 1971 (prior to his reelection campaign of 1972), "I am today ordering a freeze on all prices and wages throughout the United States.” The wage and price controls the Nixon administration sought to put in place interfered with natural market forces and oil supplies were reduced.  That problem was magnified in 1973 when oil exporting countries in the Arab world imposed an embargo on supplies to the United States due to US support of Israel in a war that Israel was fighting against a coalition of Arab states.

Both factors -- lingering efforts at price controls and continued control of the oil and gas market by OPEC nations -- played into the long lines at gas pumps seen in America in the 1970s.

• The prefix "con-", which is equivalent to "together".

• The verb "tenere", which is synonymous with "retain" or "dominate."

• The suffix “-uo”, which is used to indicate relationship.

<span>D. a change in climate that made foraging impractical</span>

 ANSWER

The correct option is B.

Before the emergence of agricultural settlement, people move about from one place to another, looking for food for themselves and their families. The shift from hunter gathering to agricultural settlement occurred when these people found suitable conditions that allowed them to settle down in one place with their families and cultivate their own foods. The use of flood plains and irrigation made available for them the water necessary for the growth of their crops.
