This question refers to the text "Jean Barbot, French Protestant and agent of the chartered Senegal Company (Compagnie du Sénégal), book describing his travels in West Africa, written circa 1682." In this text, Jean Barbot gives us some insight into how trading in West Africa operated during this time period.
A) In the 17th century, Africa was being explored and colonized by various European powers, such as the French, the Portuguese and the Dutch. In these early years of colonialism, these powers fought for dominance in Africa, and borders and areas of control changed frequently.
B) In the text, Barbot shows how the development of the Atlantic in this century was constant. We learn about elaborate constructions that the European colonists established along the Atlantic Coast of Africa. We also learn about the importance of trade in this region and of the competition between different European powers.
C) According to this passage, Jean Barbot was a French Protestant and agent of the chartered Senegal Company. Barbot seems incline to speak well of the Dutch, and negatively of the Portuguese. It is possible that this is a consequence of him sharing Protestantism with them, as opposed to Portuguese Catholics.

Answer:
The correct answers are C, <em>calling for immediate federal funding to support financial institutions troubled by bank runs</em> and D, <em>creating a series of federal programs to provide employment on public works</em>.
Explanation:
Republican President Herbert Hoover (1874-1964) firmly believed the government should not intervene in the economic field. Because of this his administration only actively fought the economical crisis in early 1932, when unemployment was around 23%.
During that year Hoover's administration got Congress to approve the creation of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC), an institution to financially support states' governments and financial institutions. RFC saved a few banks but not enough to ease the crisis.
In mid-1932 Hoover signed the Emergency Relief and Construction Act that liberated public funds for public works to provide employment.
Options A, B and E are wrong:
When the government worked on the housing field for low-income individuals it was not through tax cuts; (A)
it did not urge private agencies to organize relief efforts, only to not cut wages during the beginning of the crisis; (B)
on the contrary, Hoover established a moratorium on foreign debts related to World War I (1914-1918) to stop the European crisis caused by the American crisis aiming to help both economies. (E)
I’m pretty sure it’s France.
