First Question: How did movies change during the Great Depression?
During the Great Depression, movies became a form of escapism for people facing hard times. Option A is wrong as movies were popular (affordable entertainment). Option B is wrong as movies didn't exclusively document poverty—many had glamorous, escapist themes. Option C is wrong as movies weren't banned. Option D is correct as movies offered escapism and glamour to distract from the Depression's hardships.
The Bonus Army was composed of World War I veterans (and their families) who wanted early payment of a bonus promised for their service. The other options: farmers forced off land were part of the Dust Bowl migration, unemployed industrial workers weren't the Bonus Army, and business/labor leaders working together isn't related to the Bonus Army.
The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) focused on employing young, single men in conservation - related projects like building roads, developing parks, and soil - erosion/flood - control work. The Tennessee Valley Authority focused on the Tennessee Valley region's development (electricity, etc.), the Home Owners Loan Corporation helped with home mortgages, and the Works Progress Administration (WPA) had a broader range of projects (not just young, single men in conservation - type work as described).
