Which statement describes an effect of the Great Depression on city life?
A) Many farmers lost their land and turned to tenant farming.
B) Many people lost their jobs and were evicted from their homes.
C) African Americans and Latinos were least affected by the Depression.
D) In rural areas, farmers could try to provide food for their families.

Respuesta :

The correct answer is B)Many people lost their jobs and were evicted from their homes.

Letters A and D are wrong because they reference people from rural areas (aka farmers). Farmers were not part of the city life since they lived far from this area.

Letter C is incorrect for two reasons: a) This statement does not reference where these individuals were living. b) The Great Depression had a significant effect on all racial groups.

This shows that only letter B can be the correct answer.

It can't be letter A because it talks about farmers and the question is about depression on City Life.

It can't be letter C because the Great Depression affected all racial groups significantly.

Letter D, just like A, talks about farmers, so it must be discarded.


The correct answer is:

B) Many people lost their jobs and were evicted from their homes.
