"The technology of Arab shipbuilding in the Indian Ocean in that era before the Portuguese arrived was a curious combination of

strengths and weaknesses. The lateen sail, which the Arabs brought to the Mediterranean, by its adeptness at sailing into the wind had made the Portuguese ventures possible. The Arabs also pioneered in developing the stern rudder, which made any ship more maneuverable. They were skilled in using the stars for navigation. 'He it is,' said the Koran [Qu'ran], 'who hath appointed for you the stars that ye guide yourselves thereby in the darkness of land and sea; we have made the signs distinct for a people who have knowledge.'"
According to the passage above, which Arab invention made any ship more maneuverable?

navigation

lateen sail

ship building

stern rudder

Answer:

C. Hoover funded direct relief programs that created jobs for the unemployed.

Explanation:

Herbert Hoover was President of the United States between 1929-1933. He was business inclined and held office during the time of the Great Depression in America. This was a period of high unemployment, low profits in businesses and a decrease in economic growth. He made impacts in eradicating the Great Depression but it was all to no avail. Herbert created many programs, one of which was the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC) to bring about relief to the economy's depression. He also established some trading polices.

Herbert played a great role in the Agricultural sector by approving the Agricultural Marketing Act to create consistency in the prices of farm produce. He loaned the farmers money to purchase food for their livestock.

He increased the Federal Budget to include the Health and protection of Children program.
