Question

question 10 of 10
an effect of the war was that the average person in the south:

a. found his or her money went further in buying goods.

b. struggled to meet his or her basic needs.

c. had new choices in luxury goods.

d. was able to put money aside for savings.

Explanation:

During the war (e.g., Civil War), the South faced economic hardships like resource shortages, inflation, and disrupted supply chains. This made it hard for average people to get basic necessities. Option A is wrong as inflation would reduce purchasing power. Option C is wrong since luxury goods would be scarce. Option D is wrong as people struggled to meet needs, not save. So B is correct.

Answer:

B. Struggled to meet his or her basic needs.
