Which of these conditions helped to make Carter an unpopular president?Check any of the boxes that apply.

Answer
A
lower taxes
B
energy crisis
C
high government debt
D
Iran hostage crisis
E
high inflation

Explanation

The energy crisis, the Iran hostage crisis, and high inflation all hurt Carter’s popularity. The energy crisis brought shortages and rising fuel costs, while the hostage crisis made the U.S. government appear unable to secure the release of Americans in Iran. Inflation raised the cost of everyday goods; lower taxes and high government debt are not the conditions identified here.
