(1 point)
□ winning passage of a tax cut to increase individuals’ take - home incomes
□ urging private agencies and state governments to organize relief efforts
□ calling for immediate federal funding to support financial institutions troubled by bank runs
□ creating a series of federal programs to provide employment on public works
□ demanding debt payments from foreign governments to increase emergency funds

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze Hoover's early Great Depression responses:

1. Hoover initially relied on private agencies and state governments for relief (he believed in limited federal intervention), so "urging private agencies and state governments to organize relief efforts" is correct.
2. He also won a tax cut to boost individual incomes (to stimulate spending), so "winning passage of a tax cut to increase individuals’ take - home incomes" is correct.

• "Calling for immediate federal funding..." is incorrect as Hoover was reluctant to use direct federal funding early.
• "Creating a series of federal programs..." was more of later New Deal or Hoover's later efforts, not early.
• "Demanding debt payments..." was not a main early relief step.

Answer:

A. winning passage of a tax cut to increase individuals’ take - home incomes
B. urging private agencies and state governments to organize relief efforts
