Explanation:

1. For the first question: World War I ended in 1918, before the 1920s, so radio in the 1920s could not have spread news about this war. The other options are confirmed effects of 1920s radio.
2. For the second question: The Scopes Trial (1925) centered on a Tennessee law that banned teaching evolution in public schools; John Scopes was prosecuted for violating this law.
3. For the third question: A major criticism of Prohibition was that it led to the growth of bootlegging, organized crime, and widespread lawlessness, which turned many people against the policy.
