Question

if joseph stalin had set lower production quotas for his first five - year plan, he would have
won more public support for his command economy.
achieved better results and conserved resources.
achieved less impressive results, but at less cost to workers.
met his goals, but workers would have worked longer hours.

Explanation:

Stalin's first Five-Year Plan imposed extremely high, often unachievable production quotas, which led to severe worker exploitation, shortages, and resource waste as factories rushed to meet targets. Lower quotas would have reduced the intense pressure on workers (lowering human costs) while resulting in less dramatic, more realistic production outcomes.

Answer:

achieved less impressive results, but at less cost to workers.
