Question 2 • US History

Read the claim. Roosevelt’s New Deal led to improvements in America’s drought-relief systems. Which piece of evidence is relevant to this claim?

Answer
A
Many Great Depression–era programs dealing with drought remained in use for decades.
B
The price of land in drought-stricken areas increased during the Great Depression.
C
The Great Depression was partially the result of years of drought.
D
Many farmers worked to conserve water during the Great Depression.

Explanation

Evidence that New Deal drought-relief systems improved would show that those programs were useful or lasting. The fact that many Great Depression–era drought programs remained in use for decades supports the claim that they made lasting improvements. The other choices describe land prices, causes of the Depression, or farmers’ actions, not the lasting effectiveness of the relief systems.
