The Great Depression - President Hoover's Handling of the Crisis



http://goo.gl/x5c7W Pres. Hoover

 Herbert Hoover, a Republican president at the beginning of the Great Depression, was ineffective in his response because he made many of the Americans really mad. Farmers burned their crops instead of selling it to people at a very low price, they also dumped their milk on the highways. Some farmers declared a "farmer's holiday" on which they stopped working, and also blocked roads to prevent food to the market. Hoover did not like the government to give things to the people because he refused to support direct relief or forms of federal welfare. The Bonus Army was made up of World War I veterans and their families to get their money, but then Hoover tear-gassed the people, including children, and made a bad impression of him.

             A. subways
             B. skycrapers
             C. airplanes
             D. suspension bridges


Number 2 is the only question I missed on the quiz, I put letter D. suspension bridges though the correct answer is letter C. airplanes. I got this question wrong because, to be honest I just randomly picked a letter just not to leave it blank and because I did not have the knowledge to answer it, although I understood the question.

As a test taker I think I always do good and I usually miss a few questions which leads to decent score, but in this case I only missed one question because I did not have the knowledge to answer it, well maybe I did, but I guess I forgot. So next time I have to study a little bit better to improve my test scores.
