The Dust Bowl, which happened during the 1930´s originated in the South and its devastation and effects moved on to affect not just the Southern Plains but also the Great Plains. The absence of rainfall, the intense movement of strong winds and continuous dust were part of the factors that affected everything in life, from the economy of families to their welfare and even comfort, to their health. It was a time of great drought, which coupled with the Depression of the 1930s, increased the poverty levels, especially in rural areas. In response to the need for food and income to be generated, many farmers decided to replace the natural grasses that grew in the plains for winter wheat and this action, coupled with the lack of rainfall, led to a furthering of the drought problem and also to land erosion. In the end, it was very difficult, if not almost impossible, to grow any crops and the lands turned to dust. This is why the correct response is C: Replacing natural grasses to plant winter wheat led to topsoil erosion.

The correct answer is letter C
Luther was disappointed by what he saw in Rome. Observing the discussions he started to see the clergyman as incompetent, petulant and cynical. The experience made Luther question the Catholic Church.
The doubts continued to germinate in the following years. Using his experience in Bible studies, he proceeded to outline his own interpretation of the Bible. This view diverged from some Catholic maxims.
He went on to say in his sermons at Wittenberg that priests had no power to grant forgiveness. For Luther, forgiveness came from within and no one would be able to bestow it on someone else, be it a priest or a pope. This contradicted the view of the Catholic Church.
Luther also began to reject indulgence, a practice in which a wealthy person sold part of his merits, especially in the form of payment to the church, to save another of dubious faith. He also doubted that the pope would be able to remove a person's soul from purgatory if one of his living relatives paid.
