Explanation:

For Question 9:

The Palmer Raids targeted radical leftists, and while hundreds were arrested, no solid evidence of a revolutionary conspiracy was ever found. The Red Scare continued after the raids, and the FBI existed in a precursor form before the raids.

For Question 10:

The table shows wholesale prices and cost of living rose sharply from 1918 to 1920, while manufacturing employment stayed stable. This matches the pattern of inflation from removed WWI economic controls, straining household budgets. The other options are not supported by the table data.

Answer:

1. A. no hard evidence of a revolutionary conspiracy
2. D. The removal of economic controls led to increased inflation and strained family budgets.
