Which issue that arose under Hoover helped Roosevelt into the White House in 1932?

Answer

a high unemployment rate

high unemployment benefits

a low corporate tax rate

low tariffs on imports

Explanation

The Great Depression caused unemployment to rise sharply while Herbert Hoover was president. Many Americans blamed his administration for not doing enough to address the crisis, helping Franklin D. Roosevelt win the 1932 election. The correct choice is a high unemployment rate; unemployment benefits were not high enough to be the defining issue.
