Explanation:
Eugene Talmadge was elected as Georgia's governor in <em>1932. </em>He served the office for <em>two consecutive terms</em>. He became very popular for his dictatorial style of governance. Since he couldn't run again for the position of governor in 1936, he ran for<em> Senator</em>. However, he didn't win. In 1940, he tried running again as a governor and he won. It was his third term. Clearly, <em>there was a break between the two consecutive terms here.</em> In 1942, he ran again but lost the governor's position. This was also another break for him. Finally, he won the position for the<em> 4th time</em> in 1946, however, he died before his scheduled inauguration.
During the Roaring Twenties, American farmers "produced crops despite falling prices." This ability cam to an end however when the Great Depression hit in 1929, when prices fell even further. <span> </span>
