Explanation:

First Question (Which was NOT a cause of the Great Depression?):

To determine the non - cause, we analyze each option:

• Tariffs on foreign goods (like the Smoot - Hawley Tariff) reduced international trade, contributing to the Great Depression.
• Easy credit led to overspending and stock market speculation, a cause of the Depression.
• A growing number of homeless people was an effect of the Great Depression (people lost homes due to job loss, etc.), not a cause.
• A crisis in the farm sector (low prices, overproduction) was a cause as it hurt rural economies.

• The Emergency Banking Relief Act focused on banks, not the stock market.
• The Works Progress Administration (WPA) created jobs, not related to stock market regulation.
• The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was established to regulate the stock market, monitor it, and enforce laws on stocks and bonds, restoring confidence.
• The Social Security Act provided social welfare, not related to the stock market.

• The Federal Art Project was a part of the WPA, focusing on art - related jobs, not the broad range described.
• The Federal Writer’s Project was also a part of the WPA, focusing on writers.
• The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) focused on regional development (electricity, infrastructure in the Tennessee Valley), not the broad job creation across different sectors.
• The Works Progress Administration (WPA) created a wide variety of jobs from construction (airports, libraries) to sewing for the needy, addressing unemployment and poverty.
