This question is about "Thank You, M'am"
Answer and Explanation:
1. It is likely that by living in a community that was experiencing financial difficulties and having many friends who could not get what they wanted, Hughes met someone like Roger, who had to steal if he wanted to achieve his desires. However, it is likely that he met kind and charitable people like Mrs. Jones, too.
2. It may be that Hughes was inspired by someone from his own family to create Mrs. Jones. His grandmother may have been that inspiration, since the author saw her as an admirable and very kind woman to those in need.

True.
This was evidenced by the Neutrality Acts of 1930s.
The 1st Neutrality Act was the prohibition of export of "arms, ammunition, and implements of war" from the U.S. to foreign nations at war. The act requires arms manufacturer in the United States to apply for export license before they can exports arms to foreign nations.
The Neutrality Act of 1937 forbids U.S. Citizens from boarding belligerent ships. American ships were also prevented by this Act to transport arms to belligerents even if the arms were made outside the U.S. The Act also gave the President the right to bar belligerent ships from all U.S. waters.
However, there was an exception to this Act. Belligerent nations were allowed, at the discretion of the president, to acquire any items except arms from the United States, as long as they immediately pay for these items and carry them on non-American ships. This provision is called the "cash-and-carry".
The final Neutrality Act was passed on November 1939. This act lifted the arms embargo and put all trade with belligerent nations under the terms of "cash-and-carry". The ban on loans and barring of American ships transporting goods to belligerent nations still remain in effect.
