Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answers are:

- a change in social trends

- a threat of war in Europe

- a concern about the standard of living

- a desire for greater government regulation

Explanation:

After World War I, the American society and economy faced some radical changes which were leading America towards the Great Depression. The social gap between rich and poor people became intensified and way more evident. New socialist and communist ideologies increased the desire of underprivileged people to take part in government regulation.

Both the textile and agriculture industries faced growing economic problems due to overproduction. The overproduction of consumer goods caused concerns about the standard of living and eventually resulted in the crash of the stock market in 1929 which can be considered as the beginning of the Great Depression. The standard of living decreased and became the most important concern for the government and the citizens.
