Explanation:

First Question (Bank - related Act)

The Emergency Banking Relief Act allowed the Treasury Department to inspect banks and provide federal loans to sound banks. The Securities and Exchange Commission regulates securities, the Federal Securities Act regulates securities offerings, and the Home Owners Loan Corporation dealt with home loans, not bank inspections/loans as described.

In the 1932 presidential election, the candidates were Herbert Hoover (incumbent, Republican) and Franklin D. Roosevelt (Democratic). Calvin Coolidge was not a candidate in 1932, and Alfred E. Smith was not a candidate against Hoover in 1932 (he ran in 1928).

Frances Perkins was the first woman to serve in the US Cabinet, as Secretary of Labor under Franklin D. Roosevelt. Arlene Francis was a TV personality, Eleanor Roosevelt was First Lady (not in the Cabinet), and Mary McLeod Bethune was a civil rights leader but not the first woman in the Cabinet.

Answer:

B. Emergency Banking Relief Act
