Question

As a result of the pest infestation and natural disaster in the early 1900s, Georgia entered a major economic
A) recession. B) secession. C) depression. D) progression.
Which was NOT a factor leading to the Great Depression?
A) an over-production of goods B) increased industrial investment
C) speculation in the stock market D) banks overloaning to consumers

Answer 1

1) A
Eliminate. If it was a disaster it wouldn’t be progression or secession. That leaves you with depression and recession and because you probably know the Great Depression, the only one left is A.

2) C
Same thing. A and D were definitely causes, that leaves you with B and C. Then you can take an educated guess form there.
