it expanded the oil industry into new territories.
it led to increased oil prices.

Explanation:

Question 1

An oil boom brings economic growth, attracting people and investment. This leads to rapid community growth (more people moving in) and infrastructure development (building roads, utilities, etc.). Unemployment would decrease, oil production increase, and population grow, so the other options are incorrect.

Tulsa, Oklahoma, was known as the "Oil Capital of the World" due to its major role in the petroleum industry during the oil boom era. Oklahoma City, Bartlesville, and McAlester do not have this specific title related to the oil industry's central role.

The Great Depression caused economic hardship globally. For Oklahoma’s oil industry, reduced demand and economic contraction led to financial struggles, job losses, and increased poverty. The other options (expansion, price increase, little effect) contradict the historical impact of the Great Depression on industries, including oil.

Answer:

A. Rapid community growth and infrastructure development
