Explanation:

First Question:

The Great Depression caused economic hardship, stress, and despair, leading to more people experiencing mental health issues. So state mental hospital admissions would increase. Option A is wrong (admissions would rise, not decrease). Option C is wrong as the crisis impacted mental health. Option D is wrong as overall mental health worsened, not improved.

President Roosevelt used "Fireside Chats" via radio to communicate with Americans, explaining policies and reassuring them. Option A is incorrect (he didn't travel by train for communication). Option C is wrong as TV was not widespread then. Option D is incorrect as he used radio, not mainly newspapers.

The Federal Home Loan Bank Act aimed to stabilize the housing market during the Great Depression. It helped prevent foreclosures, so the aim was to prevent farmers and homeowners from losing their property. Option A: It wasn't about new construction. Option B: It didn't aim to increase property value. Option C: It was to prevent, not ease, foreclosures.

Answer:

B) Increase in state mental hospital admissions
