Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is high unemployment and large percentages of bank failure.

Explanation: Franklin Roosevelt became President in the election of 1932 defeating Herbert Hoover. In October 1929, the stock market crashed and the United States was thrust into the Great Depression. When Roosevelt took office on March 4, 1933, most banks were closed, farms were suffering, and 13 million Americans were unemployed. Those were just a few of the problems Roosevelt inherited.
