1. what event is known as \black tuesday\?

• a) the day world war i ended
• b) the day the stock market crashed in 1929
• c) the day the great depression ended
• d) the signing of the new deal

Explanation:

1. For the first question: Overuse of credit, falling crop prices, and stock market speculation were all major weaknesses of the U.S. economy in the 1920s. In contrast, the 1920s had extreme wealth inequality, so equal wealth distribution was not a feature, let alone a weakness.
2. For the second question: Black Tuesday specifically refers to the 1929 U.S. stock market crash, which was a key trigger of the Great Depression. World War I ended in 1918, the Great Depression ended in the 1930s, and the New Deal was signed later in the 1930s, so these are not correct.

Answer:

1. C) Equal distribution of wealth
2. B) The day the stock market crashed in 1929
