I was born the eldest of five children and raised in the Bible Belt. My mother was Jewish and my father was a gentile. During my adolescent years, I became aware that Jews were not well received in the Deep South. I learned that if you were Jewish, it was best not to draw attention to the fact.
My mother could trace her roots back to a Northern province of Prussia called Bromberg. Her family later immigrated to Germany, where tragically she lost most of them in the death camps of Auschwitz and Bergen Belsen. Those who escaped the Holocaust would later sail to America and make landfall in Galveston, Texas. They chose the Gulf Coast of Texas hoping to draw as little attention as possible as they became full-fledged Americans. They achieved their goal of assimilation to the point that, by the time my mother was born, little of her Jewish tradition remained intact. That lack of connection to her Jewish roots pre-empted any doubts she might have about marrying a gentile. But things took a curious turn when she decided to marry a Catholic.
In order for her to marry my father, my mother had to sign a contract with the Roman Catholic Church stating that any children born of their union would be raised Catholic. Nothing Jewish was to be allowed or spoken of in the family. She signed the agreement.
Our own familial brand of antiSemitism was always prevalent. By the age of four, I began associating my maternal grandfather's visits with breakfasts of bacon, ham and sausage. It was the only time my father would cook all three for breakfast. My grandfather would come in, kiss us all and excuse himself to go for a walk. Sometimes, I was lucky enough to join him. Those walks were full of conversations about Judaism. At the time, I could not fathom what he was sharing with me. I just thought he was getting old and confused.

The correct answer is C-The Soviet Union enjoyed strong economic growth in the 1920s.
Indeed, the chart shows that in 1921 all industrial and agricultural output was drastically reduced. This was due to the fact that Russia was in the middle of the Russian Civil War that followed the two consecutive communist revolutions of 1917. Because of the war, the fields were not grown and the industries did not produce anything as most farmers/workers were dead or fighting.
The Red Army finally prevailed over the White army and as Stalin took the power in 1924, he forced the collectivization of agriculture and industrialization of the country in order to prevent an invasion of capitalist Western powers and their allies. By 1928 it is obvious that the agricultural and industrial output levels have recovered, reaching or surpassing the pre-revolutionary levels which indicates an exponential growth of industrial and agricultural output.
Well it varied according to time and place but,
