Explanation:

For question 17: The Dust Bowl was a period of severe dust storms that greatly damaged the ecology and agriculture of the American and Canadian prairies during the 1930s. Severe drought was a key environmental factor as it dried out the soil, making it more susceptible to being picked up by the wind. Volcanic eruptions, frequent hurricanes, and excessive rainfall were not primary factors related to the Dust Bowl.
For question 18: Governor Raymond D. Gary took a positive approach to school integration. He did not oppose integration (so the first option is wrong), he did take action (so the second option is wrong), and he did not call in the National Guard to enforce segregation (so the third option is wrong). He facilitated peaceful integration through gradual policies and dialogue.

Answer:

1. Severe drought
2. He facilitated peaceful integration through gradual policies and dialogue.
