You are correct on both. Good work! :)
For question 8, the correct answer is actually C. electricity was made available for more rural areas.
During the economic boom of the 1920s, South Carolina experienced significant changes in its economy. However, the majority of the state's population did not benefit greatly from this boom. While more people were able to invest in new cars due to increased access to credit and the expansion of the automobile industry, this predominantly benefited urban areas rather than the majority of South Carolina's population.
Farmers, in particular, did not experience significant benefits from the economic boom. Agricultural prices remained low, and many farmers faced financial challenges and high levels of debt. As a result, farmers did not have the means to invest in new cars or purchase more land, as suggested in options A and B.
Regarding question 9, your answer is correct. The event that did not change the culture of the United States during the early 1920s is A. bank failures that closed factories and decreased job opportunities.
While the option A describes the impact of the Great Depression that occurred in the 1930s, the culture of the United States during the early 1920s was not directly influenced by this event. However, options B, C, and D all relate to significant cultural changes during this time period. Installment plans allowed greater access to consumer goods, boll weevil infestations led to a shift in agricultural production, and prohibition resulted in the rise of illegal alcohol trade (bootlegging).
