Explanation:

To determine the best summary, we analyze each option:

• Option A: States Roosevelt was popular but not everyone agreed. This aligns with historical context (Roosevelt had broad support but also critics).
• Option B: Claims almost everyone agreed, which is inaccurate as there were opponents.
• Option C: Says he was unpopular, which contradicts his high popularity in 1936.
• Option D: Claims he was becoming less popular with fewer agreeing, which is not supported by 1936 context (he was re - elected in a landslide).

Answer:

A. Roosevelt was very popular. But not everyone agreed with his ideas.
