1 answer:

5 0

<span>There has been so many explanations for the great depression which began in the United States and swept across other industrialised countries; but a major fall in stock price seems to be the one single explanation that has stood the test of time. In the 1920s the U.S. stock market experienced a rapid expansion, reaching its zenith in August 1929. Stock prices began to decline in September and early October, but the fall began Oct. 18. Panic set in, and on October 24, a record 12,894,650 shares were traded. Investment companies and leading bankers attempted to stabilize the market by purchasing great blocks of stock; they were trying to mitigate the steep decline. However, on Monday, the storm broke loose, and the market went into a free fall. The great depression was the longest, deepest, and most widespread depression of the 20th century.</span>

Answer:

b. empties their minds

Explanation:

From the passage, the Sage/leader's only way to achieve harmony is by keeping the masses ignorant hence feeding them full and making sure that there are no ambitions since there is no knowledge.

Therefore, according to Laozi, Dao De Jing the masses can only stay in harmony if there is no contention( as a result of knowledge) in the aim to acquire value. For example if the people do not know that gold is valuable and worth a lot of money, there will be no contention to get gold or theft of gold.
