Answer:

A. stillnes

Explanation:

The Merriam Webster dictionary defines repose as “<em>a state of resting after exertion or strain.</em>” In that order of ideas in this statement by <em>Emerson </em>the proper meaning according to the context is A. <em>stillness</em><em> </em>meaning that power comes to an end when lack of activity takes place. Option <em>B. </em><em>relaxation </em>is not appropriate, it is not a synonym of repose  and does not fit into the context. Option C. <em>Meeknes </em>is not appropriate because it would change the intention of Emerson´s “<em>Power ceases in the instant of meekness (obedience)</em>.” Option D. <em>Conformity </em>also changes the intention, conformity as correspondence in form or in accordance with something.

Foreclosures were a common occurrence in the early 1930's, as thousands of Americans lost their entire life savings and eventually their homes once the stock market crashed in 1929.To help provide Americans with help, Franklin D. Roosevelt creates the Federal Housing Administration.

This government agency helps to provide small loans for home construction. Providing these loans would help the economy recover, as new home construction is a sign of economic prosperity. By limiting the size of the loan, individuals were able to make reasonable payments and this allowed for relief, especially on America's middle class.
