Answer 1

Answer: C) What types of things did most people have to go without during the Depression?

Explanation: If you were to ask just a regular person complex statistics or facts about the Depression, chances are they wouldn't know. But, if you ask them about something personal (such as what life was like during that time) they would be able to answer it much better.
