Question 9 • MCPSS AL-Grade 6 United States Studies: The Industrial Revolution to the Present - Summer School 2026

Which scenario was most likely to happen during the Great Depression under President Hoover?

Answer
A
People visited a bread line to get a free meal.
B
People waited to get an unemployment check.
C
People hoped to remove money from the bank.
D
People collected bonuses for government service.

Explanation

During the Great Depression, many people lost their jobs and could not afford food, so they turned to bread lines for free meals. Unemployment checks were not a typical source of support then, and bank failures often made people fear they could not withdraw their savings. Collecting bonuses for government service does not describe a common hardship of the period.
