Roaring Economy to Great Depression

Question 8 • EAP-Virginia and US History B CR

This building housed a mayor’s office and a commissary, or grocery store. What does it tell you about Hooverville society?

Answer
A
People were expected to fend for themselves.
B
Some Hoovervilles had basic public services and conveniences.
C
Hoovervilles lacked the services found in typical towns.

Explanation

A mayor’s office suggests that residents organized some local government, while a commissary provided a place to get groceries. Together, these show that some Hoovervilles had basic public services and conveniences. Choice C is too broad: this building shows that at least some town-like services existed.
