Answer:    A. Expressing rage over the terrible plight of drug addicts to demonstrate her intense commitment to change

Explanation:  What will certainly not increase credibility with the audience is expressing rage. While it may seem that expressing rage and anger is good for showing commitment to a problem, a desire for change, and that Amy cares about reducing the suffering of drug addicts, rage shows that there is a lack of composure with Amy, and composure is key when one wants to gain credibility, because anger can point to certain shortcomings of anyone who wants credibility at all costs.

On the other hand, showing keen interests and enthusiasm for problem solving indicates dynamism, while quoting adequate sources to confirm claims and fluent speaking are elements of competence, that is, someone who has the competence to solve a problem.

If the Great Depression had not happened, would World War Il have been avoided?​
djyliett [7]

Explanation:

World War I’s legacy of debt, protectionism and crippling reparations set the stage for a global economic disaster.

Nearly two decades after leaving the White House, Herbert Hoover knew precisely where to place the blame for the economic calamity that befell his presidency—and it wasn’t with him. “The primary cause of the Great Depression was the war of 1914-1918,” the former president wrote in his 1952 memoirs. “Without the war there would have been no depression of such dimensions.”

The president scapegoated by many for the economic disaster certainly had the motive to point the historical finger away from himself, but some economists and historians agree with Hoover’s assessment that World War I was the foremost of several causes of the Great Depression.

LISTEN: Hope Through History - FDR and the Great Depression

“There can be little doubt that the deepest roots of the crisis lay in the several chronic infirmities that World War I had inflicted on the international political and economic order,” wrote historian David M. Kennedy. “The war exacted a cruel economic and human toll from the core societies of the advanced industrialized world, including conspicuously Britain, France and Germany.”

“World War I and its aftermath is the dark shadow that hangs over the entire period leading up to the Great Depression,” says Maury Klein, professor emeritus of history at the University of Rhode Island and author of Rainbow’s End: The Crash of 1929. “Pick any policy you want, and you can see how it leads back to World War I.”

America Retreats From the World

While the United States emerged from World War I not only as the world’s leading economic power, but scarred by its involvement in what many Americans saw as a purely European conflict. The disillusionment with World War I led to a retreat from international affairs.

“America was going to make the world safe for democracy and came out disgusted with the whole thing,” Klein says. “The United States emerged as the logical leader on the world stage and then cut out of that role.”

Not wanting to be saddled with the cost of a European war, the United States demanded that the Allies repay money loaned to them during the conflict. “The Allies took the position that if they had to do that, then they would have to collect reparations from Germany that could be used to repay the war loans,” Klein says.

German Reparations Weigh Down Europe

Council of Four at the WWI Paris peace conference, May 27, 1919 (L - R) Great Britain Prime Minister David Lloyd George, Italian Premier Vittorio Orlando, French Premier Georges Clemenceau, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson. The treaty signed at the conference saddled Germany with billions of dollars in reparations.

As a result, the punitive Treaty of Versailles required Germany to pay billions of dollars in reparations to Great Britain, France, Belgium and other Allies. “The Peace is outrageous and impossible and can bring nothing but misfortune,” wrote economist John Maynard Keynes after resigning in protest as the British Treasury Department’s chief representative to the peace conference. In his international bestseller The Economic Consequences of the Peace, Keynes argued that the onerous reparations would only further impoverish .
