image: together we can do it! poster with keep em firing! and options: a. food administration, b. national war labor board (nwlb), c. selective service act (ssa), d. fuel administration

b. fewer casualties than in previous wars; however, the accuracy of military weaponry increased significantly.
c. the quick victory for the technologically superior allies.
d. an increase in the level of slaughter and a bloody stalemate.

Explanation:

For Question 33:

The poster shows labor and management uniting to support the war effort ("Keep 'Em Firing"), which aligns with the role of the National War Labor Board (NWLB), which mediated labor-management disputes to maintain war production during wartime. The other options focus on food, conscription, or fuel, which are unrelated to the labor-management collaboration in the image.

For Question 34:

WWI technologies like machine guns, barbed wire, and poison gas drastically boosted defensive capabilities. Armies could not easily break through enemy lines, leading to years of trench warfare, massive casualties, and a prolonged stalemate. The other options are incorrect: casualties were far higher than prior wars, there was no quick Allied victory, and defensive power led to more, not fewer, deaths.

Answer:

1. b. National War Labor Board (NWLB)
2. d. an increase in the level of slaughter and a bloody stalemate.
