Roaring Economy to Great Depression

Question 5 • EAP-Virginia and US History B CR

Which statement best explains how farming affected the economic slowdown that led to the Great Depression?

Answer
A
High demand was met with high output.
B
Produce prices were constantly rising.
C
Large machines made farms more efficient.
D
Even though prices and demand were falling, production increased.

Explanation

Farmers continued producing more even as demand for crops and prices were falling. This oversupply pushed prices and farm incomes down further, leaving many farmers unable to repay debts and adding to the economic slowdown. Choice D, “Even though prices and demand were falling, production increased,” best describes this pattern.
