Question 11 • EAP-Virginia and US History B CR

Stagflation in the US economy during the 1970s resulted in

Answer
A
low inflation.
B
slow economic growth.
C
an oil embargo.
D
a high value of goods.

Explanation

Stagflation combines high inflation with stagnant or very slow economic growth. In the 1970s, the U.S. experienced rising prices alongside weak growth, so “slow economic growth” is the result described. An oil embargo contributed to the economic difficulties, but it was a cause, not what stagflation means.
