Explanation:

First Question (Hawley - Smoot Tariff Act)

The Hawley - Smoot Tariff Act raised U.S. tariffs on imported goods. Other countries retaliated by raising their tariffs on U.S. goods, which led to a significant reduction in international trade. Hoover was not re - elected, the act did not lead to more demand for American manufactured goods (due to retaliatory tariffs), and it was not related to income distribution in the U.S.

The Dust Bowl was a period of severe dust storms that damaged the ecology and agriculture of the Great Plains. The soil became infertile, crop yields dropped, and many farmers were forced to leave their farms and migrate to other states in search of better living conditions. It did not increase crop yields, improve soil fertility, or have no significant impact.

When Roosevelt took office, the banking system was in crisis. His first major action was to declare a bank holiday, closing all banks and ordering inspections to assess their financial health. The "Brain Trust" meetings were part of his policy - making process but not the first major action. The Supreme Court reorganization was later, and the Civil Works Administration was established after the bank actions.

Answer:

a dramatic drop in world trade
