What was the result of the Scopes "Monkey trial"?

History

The jury did not disappoint him. Scopes was found guilty and fined $100 (almost $1,300 in today's money). The Tennessee Supreme Court later upheld the constitutionality of the statute but overturned Scopes' conviction on a technicality. Bryan, meanwhile, died only five days after the conclusion of the Monkey Trial.

The Scopes "Monkey Trial" was a famous legal case in the United States that put the Butler Act to the test, which established that it was illegal in every educational establishment of the state of Tennessee "the teaching of any theory that denies the history of the Divine Creation of the man as it is explained in the Bible, and replace it with the teaching that man descends from an order of inferior animals". It is the most resounding legal case in the history of the ideological battle between creationism and evolutionism.

John Scopes, a high school teacher, was accused on May 5, 1925 of teaching evolution using a chapter of a textbook that was based on ideas inspired by Charles Darwin's book The Origin of Species. The trial involved two of the most brilliant lawyers of the time. On the one hand William Jennings Bryan, member of the congress, former Secretary of State, and three times presidential candidate was in charge of the prosecution and accusation, while the prominent litigation lawyer Clarence Darrow led the defense.

The process attracted enormous attention from the press (which was what immediately called it "the monkey's trial") and from the American public, especially when the famous lawyer Clarence Darrow agreed to defend the defendant. Despite his brilliant final plea, Scopes was convicted by the Court, albeit only a symbolic fine and not a prison sentence as requested by the prosecutor.

Answer: a.  The War Production Board helped factories quickly shift from only making consumer goods to making war materials.

Explanation:

A key part of the U.S. being able to join the Second World War and contribute so effectively in the time that it did, was the War Production Board's efficiency in shifting American consumer production to war materials for use by the U.S. military and the Allies.

Thanks to the Board, companies shifted their focus from consumer goods even though there was initially some massive pushback. Following a national campaign, opposition subsided and the U.S. was able to pump out so much war material that the war would not have been won without.
