Correct answer:  A) Americans paying higher interest rates on home and car loans.

President Jimmy Carter struggled against a bad economy in the United States during his time in office (Jan, 1977- Jan, 1981).  When he entered office, the country was experiencing "stagflation" -- a combination of inflation and minimal economic growth.  The actions of the Federal Reserve Board, under chairman G. William Miller, contributed to further inflation problems.  The inflation rate went from 5.8% in 1976 to 7.7% in 1978.  That meant that interest rates for home loans and car loans for American consumers got steeper and more difficult to afford.  Then in 1979, the oil crisis hit as world oil production dropped in the wake of the Iranian Revolution.  In 1979, inflation in the US went up to 11.3%.  That only made matters worse.

In 1979, President Carter replaced Miller as chairman of the Federal Reserve, appointing Paul Volcker in his place.  Volcker continued to serve in that role under the Reagan administration also, and played a large role in bringing inflation back under control.

Explain why Germany's location in Europe contributed to it's being involved in a two front war
taurus [48]

I presume your question is in reference to The Great War, which we now call World War I.

The days leading up to the Great War (World War I) were full of military buildup, military planning, and countries lining up with one another in alliance systems.  The Triple Entente had Britain, France and Russia as allies.  In between those countries were the members of the Triple Alliance:  Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy, with Germany as the leading power in that group.  

Because of the alliance system, Germany assumed that if a war began, it would need to fight on two fronts -- west and east. Germany assumed it would be fighting against both France (on its western border) and Russia (on its eastern border) if war broke out.

German Field Marshall Alfred von Schlieffen drew up war plans that said attack France first, quickly, and then hold that territory while deploying forces to contend with Russia in the east.

In 1914, when Russia mobilized troops to come to the aid of Serbia against Austria-Hungary in 1914 (after the assassination of Austria's archduke by Serbian radicals), Germany declared war on Russia.  And when Germany went to war, the first thing it did was to march through Belgium to go and attack France.  Up to that point France had not had involvement in the conflicts that had begun in the Balkans.  Thus the war spread and quickly became a more global conflict.
