Preview the types of problems and questions covered in this worksheet

Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.59 The 1920s Economy and Consumer Culture skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Use the accompanying evidence set: auto prices fall, advertising spending rises, installment debt grows, productivity outpaces wages, and farm prices remain weak. Which thesis best fits all of the evidence?

AThe 1920s economy was weak only because cars were too expensive for all buyers

BAdvertising spending rose because consumer demand no longer mattered

CFarm prices prove that urban consumer markets did not grow

DMass production and consumer culture expanded markets, but unequal income and debt made the prosperity unstable

Solution & Explanation:The evidence supports a synthesis: production and marketing expanded consumption, while inequality, debt, and farm distress exposed structural weaknesses.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which explanation best avoids a one-cause account of the 1929 economic crisis while staying aligned to the 11.59 skill?

AThe crash happened only because one advertisement used emotional language

BThe Depression began because Americans bought too few automobiles in 1908

CThe crisis grew from interacting weaknesses, including speculation, uneven income, weak agriculture, overproduction, and credit dependence

DNo economic weakness existed before the stock market fell

Solution & Explanation:A strong historical explanation synthesizes several vulnerabilities from the 1920s economy instead of treating the crash as the result of a single isolated factor.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Use the accompanying paired photographs: one shows a busy urban shopping street with cars and store windows; the other shows a rural farm auction sign. Which thesis do the paired images best support?

AUrban shopping scenes prove rural families had no economic problems

BVisible consumer abundance coexisted with rural hardship and uneven prosperity

CFarm distress shows consumer culture did not exist anywhere

DBoth images prove that all Americans lived in identical conditions

Solution & Explanation:The contrast between urban consumer abundance and rural distress highlights the uneven nature of the 1920s economy.
