Question

3. What event worsened the plight of farmers in the 1930s?

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Farmers Grow Angry and Desperate. During World War I, farmers worked hard to produce record crops and livestock. When prices fell they tried to produce even more to pay their debts, taxes and living expenses. In the early 1930s prices dropped so low that many farmers went bankrupt and lost their farms.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ The \ Dust \ Bowl}}$

Explanation:

In the 1930s, the United States was suffering through its worst economic crisis ever. Unemployment rates soared, the stock market was shot, and the economy was shattered.

But, then another event occurred: The Dust Bowl.

In the Midwest, farmers were not farming properly and they left the soil loose. A drought hit, causing the loose soil to dry up. Then, huge gusts of wind picked up the dirt and caused dust storms.

This forced farmers to leave and a majority of their farms and land were ruined. This only made the plight of the Great Depression worse, because more people were unemployed and less food was being produced.
