The given statement is false. The Wall Street Crash, which occurred in 1929, is commonly referred to as Black Tuesday, not Black Death.

The Wall Street Crash was one of many factors of the Great Depression
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The Wall Street Crash refers to the stock market crash that occurred in 1929, which was a significant event leading to the Great Depression. While there were other factors contributing to the economic downturn, such as agricultural overproduction and unequal distribution of wealth, the Wall Street Crash played a crucial role. The crash led to a severe decline in stock prices, causing many investors to lose large amounts of money. This, in turn, triggered a chain reaction of bank failures, unemployment, and a general economic decline, ultimately culminating in the Great Depression.

  Heavy floods in the agricultural lands
Correct Answer(s)
A. High unemployment
C. Increased poverty

Explanation
During the Great Depression, high unemployment and increased poverty were significant factors that contributed to the economic crisis. The widespread loss of jobs led to a decrease in consumer spending, further exacerbating the economic downturn. As more people faced unemployment and poverty, the overall demand for goods and services declined, leading to a decrease in production and further job losses. This vicious cycle created a prolonged period of economic hardship and financial instability.

Factors such as economic circumstances, personal preferences, and the availability of transportation options could influence whether or not they traveled in groups.

The American Dream is a widely known concept that symbolizes the belief that anyone, regardless of their background, can achieve success and prosperity in the United States through hard work and determination. It represents the hope for a better life, where individuals can improve their social and economic status. This idea has been ingrained in the American culture and has attracted immigrants from all over the world who seek opportunities and a chance to fulfill their dreams. Therefore, the statement "The American Dream is the hope for a better life" is true.

During the 1930s, prejudice and discrimination were prevalent in society. This was a time when racial, ethnic, and religious biases were widespread, leading to segregation, inequality, and mistreatment of certain groups.
