Question

Which of the following best exemplifies the public opinion of Herbert Hoover during the presidential election of 1932?

Answer 1

B)Most Americans believed wholeheartedly that Hoover was responsible for starting the Great Depression

Answer 2

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Herbert Hoover was the 31st President of the United States. He became the President during the time of the Great Depression. Historically, Hoover's predecessor's policies were the reason that contributed to the Great Depression. But the inability of Hoover's coming up with the new policies made Americans think Hoover to be responsible for the Great Depression.

This inability of Hoover and the viewpoint of Americans paved the way for Franklin D. Roosevelt to win the elections of 1932.

So, the correct answer is option B.
