Answer: The answer is "Hoovervilles."

Explanation: These shanty towns were derogatorily named "Hoovervilles" after U.S. President Herbert Hoover (1929-1933), since they were improvised and deficient slums built in the United States during the Great Depression, which started when Hoover became President - and many people blamed him for it. Extremely poor people, homeless and unemployed, lived in them, often crowded together in small shacks. For the most part the shacks were built with cheap and unsuitable materials, and the living conditions in them were unhealthy and very unpleasant. Some of these shanty towns got to accommodate thousands of people.

Rasek [7]
As Bookworm83 pointed out already, C nor D couldn't possibly correct, also due to the reason that he was able to come up with the 14 point plan. However, the real answer to your question would be A - he was very shy.

The shyness of Woodrow Wilson has been readily documented in variou sources and is also the reason why it's th ecorrect answer. Overcoming something like shyness was not an easy thing to do for him.

What was the impact of the Napoleonic Code?
horsena [70]

The development of the Napoleonic Code was a fundamental change in the nature of the civil law system, making laws clearer and more accessible. It also superseded the former conflict between royal legislative power and, particularly in the final years before the Revolution, protests by judges representing views and privileges of the social classes to which they belonged. Such conflict led the Revolutionaries to take a negative view of judges making law.

During the 19th century, the Napoleonic Code was voluntarily adopted in a number of European and Latin American countries, either in the form of simple translation or with considerable modifications.
