You are correct. The conditions that led to the Great Depression include high consumer debt, risky investments, and uninsured bank deposits. During the 1920s, many Americans took on high levels of debt and engaged in risky investments in the stock market, which led to the collapse of the stock market in 1929. The failure of many banks that had made risky loans, combined with a lack of federal deposit insurance, led to widespread losses of savings and further economic turmoil. Therefore, the correct answers are high consumer debt, risky investments, and uninsured bank deposits.
