Answer 1

The government banned workers in important industries from striking.

Answer 2

The correct answer is the government banned workers in important industries from striking.

The US government got very involved in the economy during World War II. Besides telling workers they cannot strict, they also set quotas that businesses needed to meet in terms of producing certain necessities for war (like guns, ammunition, foods, etc.). This ensured that the war effort for the American troops was fully funded and sustainable.
