Question

1. what did the bonus army want?

○ they wanted hoover to promise that they would have their bonuses in 1945.
○ they wanted hoover to punish general macarthur for his attack.
○ they wanted permanent housing and long - term public works jobs.
○ they wanted congress to keep its promise to pay their benefits before 1945.

Explanation:

The Bonus Army was a group of World War I veterans who were promised a bonus payment in 1945. Amid the Great Depression, they demanded early payment of this promised bonus from Congress to cope with financial hardship. The other options are incorrect: the attack by MacArthur happened after their protest, they did not focus on permanent housing/jobs as their core demand, and they did not seek a 1945 promise (they wanted early payment).

Answer:

They wanted Congress to keep its promise to pay their benefits before 1945.
