Which of the following best describes the economic conditions in the United States during the 1920s?

Answer
A
booming and prosperous; most Americans were able to find jobs
B
characterized by depression, including high unemployment and poverty

Explanation

The 1920s are often called the Roaring Twenties because the United States experienced economic growth and rising prosperity for much of the decade. Many Americans found work, though the benefits were not shared equally. The description of widespread depression, high unemployment, and poverty fits the Great Depression, which began after the 1920s.
