You're welcome, Amber.
Thanks again :)
You are correct that options C and D are significant about the election of 1932. Option C states that Roosevelt promised bold action unlike Hoover, which was a key aspect of his campaign. Option D is also correct as Roosevelt promised a "New Deal," a series of economic and social reforms aimed at addressing the Great Depression.
To arrive at these correct answers, you can eliminate options A and B. Option A states that the American people were satisfied with Hoover's policies, which is incorrect. The election of 1932 occurred during the Great Depression when public sentiment towards Hoover was negative due to his perceived inability to effectively address the economic crisis.
Option B suggests that the American people re-elected Hoover with an overwhelming majority, which is also incorrect. In reality, Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Democratic candidate, won the election by a large margin, obtaining an overwhelming majority of electoral votes.
So, by process of elimination, you correctly deduced that options C and D are significant about the election of 1932.
