The correct answer is Very few retired Americans had a guaranteed income.

During the 1930's, America suffered the worst economic depression in US history. Millions of people lost their job or life savings thanks to factors like bank closures and the Stock Market Crash of 1929. This financial downfall resulted in many Americans losing their life savings or retirement funding. This is why, during the early part of the 1930's, very few people had a guaranteed income when they retired. President Franklin D. Roosevelt hoped to change this by developing the Social Security Administration, which would give compensation to elderly individuals in order to support their cost of living when they retired.

Which invention resulted in an increase in the demand for coal?

MrMuchimi

The correct answer is option C) Steam Engine

Steam Engines were developed in the 1st Industrial Revolution in England. They led to the development of trains which provided fast travel throughout the country.

Steam Engines require the burning of coal to make steam and push machinery. This meant that the Steam Engine and Coal were perfect complimentary products and the increase in demand for one, would automatically increase the demand for the other.

Railway lines completely transformed countries as more and more goods and people could be transported cheaply and quickly.

From England, steam engines and trains spread to Europe, the US and other parts of the world and for the next 150 years, trains became the preferred mode of transport.
