Question 16 • US History

Which statement best describes the results of the Clinton presidency?

Answer
A
The economy improved, but government became more divided.
B
The US had a trade surplus, but jobs decreased.
C
Social programs increased, but the national debt also increased.
D
Global trade increased, but the US was viewed as passive abroad.

Explanation

During Bill Clinton’s presidency, the economy grew and unemployment fell. At the same time, political conflict increased, especially after Republicans took control of Congress in 1994, leading to clashes with the administration and a government shutdown. Thus, the statement that the economy improved while government became more divided best describes the results.
