The correct answer is A) Shantytowns in which homeless families lived during the Great Depression.

When the Great Depression hit America during the 1930's, it resulted in massive unemployment and debt. Millions of people either lost their life savings in the stock market, lost their savings accounts due to bank failures, or lost their job. This resulted in an increased homeless rate within the US.

These homeless citizens created homes out of any material they could find. These towns were named "Hoovervilles" after president Herbert Hoover. They believed Hoover was not doing enough to help the American people during the Great Depression.

What is a characteristic of prehistoric
puteri [66]
The prehistoric era predates writing. Human progress included primitive tools and weapons, clothing, fire, cave art and burial of the dead. During the Old Stone Age, human beings were learning, but they were learning slowly. Then around 10,000 years ago progress began to speed up, with developments like agriculture, the domestication of animals, the creation of permanent villages and cities, etc. Writing began to appear around 5,000 years ago (around 3,000 BC) and that may be the beginning of what we call history, since we begin to know what people were thinking as well as what they were doing.
