Explanation:

1. The claim states the 1920s was a period of shared prosperity and social advancement. The Tulsa Massacre was a violent attack on a prosperous Black community, destroying wealth and lives, proving prosperity was not shared. The other options represent social/cultural advancement or progress.
2. Unregulated banks issuing risky loans (including to stock speculators) contributed to financial instability that triggered the Great Depression. Government regulation of the stock market would not cause a crash, returning WWI troops were earlier, and the New Deal was a response to the Depression, not a cause.
3. During the Great Depression, women faced disproportionate poverty and unemployment; they were often passed over for jobs, and female-headed households struggled more. The other options are incorrect: New Deal opportunities were limited for women, migration patterns were mostly rural to urban, and not all middle-class women lost their standing.

Answer:

1. A. the Tulsa Massacre
2. A. banks issuing risky loans
3. B. They experienced higher levels of poverty and unemployment
