PLZ help me OUT. Thank you so MUCH!!!!

Answer 1

D.

Answer 2

d - showed that the nation was ready for strong, new approaches to solving economic problem.

And here's a quick and easy way to figure out an answer to a question like that (or any multiple choice question).

In multiple choice questions, one or two answers are always obviously wrong.

In this case, A is obviously wrong, because if the American voters had not wanted the government to solve the nation's economic problems, they could have voted for the Republican candidate, Herbert Hoover,who opposed government intervention in the economy.

B is also obviously wrong. The US Communist Party did run a presidential candidate in 1932 (former union leader William Z Foster) but he got less than 1% of the vote and wasn't even on the ballot in most states. So the communists wern't a factor in that election (although they were becoming prominent in other areas of American life - they led protests of unemployed people against evictions and cuts in welfare benefits, and they were very involved in union organizing_.

So that narrows it down to C and D.

C is wrong too, because although there were some people, in particular some of the more conservative businesspeople, who feared that Roosevelt's reform proposals would damage the capitalist economic system, most people felt that there needed to be major changes made to save America's economy.

And that brings us to D, which is the right answer.

Hope that helps!

Answer 3

Nearly every rape is not considered to be a "violent" rape. Meaning that the suspect wasn't some stranger who attacked, overpowered, and raped the victim, but the victim and the suspect were friends or acquaintances. One said it was rape. The other said "What?!?" In short, people still believe that women are the ones who make the decision to have sex - not the men. The general idea is that the man would have sex with anyone who was willing (not saying that I agree, but I think you'd be lying to yourself if you didn't agree most people this this way). If a women has sex with a lot of men, then she probably would be willing to have sex with the guy she's claiming to rape her. If she never has sex with anyone, she probably wouldn't have been. Establishing the alleged victim as a woman with questionable morals will make the man's story much more believable. In the he said, she said situations, there must be credibility established on BOTH sides (not just the females). The problem with your point of view is that you are going in there assuming the man is guilty, and that the woman was raped. The law is "innocent until proven guilty." Look at what you typed: "So what? If a girl is a virgin, being raped is much more awful and the rapist deserves to be punished more so than if the girl has had sex before?! Or if you don't dress like a nun, then you must've been leading the guy on and sh*t?! Or if a girl gets drunk, she's to blame for her own rape?! No wonder rape is the most under reported crime! I wouldn't report a rape if I new I would be made to look like a horrible disgusting sl*t for it." Think about that attitude - You're implying that the woman was indeed raped, which may or may not be the case. That is not how the courts are "supposed" to work. Being raped is awful no matter who you are or what your past was. However, establishing the credibility of your client, and the lackthereof of the defendent is going to go a long way. Who would you believe more? An innocent virgin saying some jerk with a much more promiscuous past raped her? Or some woman who's slept with dozens of men saying that this one "took advantage" of her? The virgin is simply much more believable.

Answer 4

It is definitely d because a. people wanted a strong central government to help them out of their mess so a.is incorrect. Communism received less than .2% of the vote and Socialism only 2.2% so that is not enough force to be reckoned with. The election in 1932 was a landslide for FDR who received 57% of the vote compared to 40% to Hoover 472-59 electorally. Do the only answer that makes sense is D.

Answer 5

I would have to say D. I don't believe it was an endorsement of Roosevelt so much as it was the American people just wanted a change. Hoover had the misfortune of being president when the country went into depression. And seeing as that he could not come up with any viable solutions to ease the country's pain, he became villified. And when the election rolled around, well...people tend to vote with their pocketbooks.

Futhermore, it's commonly believed that the Depression affected the United States only; in fact, the Depression was a worldwide phenomenon, particularly in Europe as well as the US.

Answer 6

D. After the election many agencies were created to address the serious economic conditions that came out of the crash of 1929.

Answer 7

I'd go with D because the country was coming out of bad economic times.

Answer 8

It's D
The election was not close, Hoover lost horribly.

Answer 9

The answer is "D" and they got their new approaches. I suggest you read about his Hundred Days Congress. http://usgovinfo.about.com/library/weekly/bl100bush.htm?r=8z

Answer 10

You should read your textbook. Or use a search engine.

Answer 11

id have to go with D
