It was starting to come out of the Great Depression.

It was deep into the second Great Depression.

D
It was entering yet another recession.

Explanation

During World War II, government spending and wartime production sharply increased industrial output and employment. By the war’s end, the U.S. economy was strong and growing, rather than still emerging from the Great Depression or entering another depression or recession.
