#27 what does the following describe: limiting the use of certain materials at home so they can be used for the war effort, for example, meatless or wheatless days of the week or using less gasoline.
○ selective service act
○ rationing
○ liberty bonds

Explanation:

Question 27 (assuming the first part was a different question, focusing on the second one about limiting materials for war effort):

• Selective Service Act: Relates to conscription (drafting soldiers), not material limitation.
• Rationing: Defined as controlling/limiting the use of goods (like food, fuel) to allocate them for critical needs (e.g., war effort), matching the description of meatless/wheatless days or less gasoline use.
• Liberty Bonds: Were bonds sold to raise money for the war, not about material use limits.

Answer:

B. Rationing (assuming the options are labeled as such; from the given options, the correct one is the "Rationing" option)
