q.2.


d buying on margin is the right answer because this is what in tern caused the market to crash.
Reply:Well, you got the first one right. I think the second answer is D, because that absolutely was what was going on and directly contributed to the stock market crash in 1929.


As for the last one, you must be kidding. Socialism has never gained popular acceptance in the U.S. C could be right for that one, but, generally, I find these history multiple choice tests to be quite poor. It's just laziness on the part of teachers who want to run stuff through Scantrons rather than have to read and grade an essay that would demonstrate real understanding of the subject.
Reply:i agree with your answers
Reply:As far as I can see you got them all right and with good


explanations!. Congratulations!
