Problems in Agriculture**
Uneven distribution of wealth
Lack of stock available
7. Hoover believed in which of the following strategies to end the Great Depression?
Volunteerism and localism
Raising taxes and taking over businesses**
No, drought and resulting dust clouds over the plains caused by the farmland drying out and blowing in the wind was a major problem.
I wonder what on earth "lack of stock available" means.
Both are wrong.
It's back to your assigned text for you!
Read John Steinbeck, "Grapes of Wrath".
Hoover was a modern Republican before his time. No way he would raise taxes or take over businesses. He decided to leave the problem to his successor. He was a good engineer though.
Thanks for the reading suggestion Damon, ill be sure to read it.
Please do. That is what it is about.

To answer question 2, "All of the following are considered causes of the Great Depression EXCEPT...", we need to examine the three options provided:
1. Problems in Agriculture
2. Uneven distribution of wealth
3. Lack of stock available
To determine the correct answer, we can review historical sources or reference materials on the Great Depression. This period, which occurred from 1929 to the late 1930s, was characterized by a severe economic downturn in the United States and globally.
Commonly accepted causes of the Great Depression include problems in agriculture, such as drought conditions and overproduction of crops, which led to a decrease in farm income. The uneven distribution of wealth is another contributing factor, as it resulted in decreased purchasing power for the majority of the population. Lastly, lack of stock available refers to the decreasing value of stocks on the stock market, leading to financial instability.
From the given options, we need to identify the exception. Since "Problems in Agriculture" and "Uneven distribution of wealth" are widely recognized causes of the Great Depression, we can conclude that the correct answer must be "Lack of stock available." Therefore, the answer to question 2 is "Lack of stock available."
Moving on to question 7, which asks about President Hoover's strategies to end the Great Depression, we are given two options:
1. Volunteerism and localism
2. Raising taxes and taking over businesses
To determine the correct answer, let's examine historical sources and references related to President Hoover's response to the Great Depression. Herbert Hoover was the 31st President of the United States and was in office during the early years of the Great Depression.
Hoover's approach to addressing the economic crisis was characterized by a reliance on private charity and voluntary efforts, which is known as "volunteerism." He believed that local communities and individuals should take the lead in helping those affected by the Depression. This approach is often referred to as "volunteerism and localism" and was a key component of Hoover's strategy.
On the other hand, there is no evidence to suggest that Hoover advocated for "raising taxes and taking over businesses." This option does not align with the historical record of his policies during the Great Depression.
Therefore, the correct answer to question 7 is "Volunteerism and localism."
