Question

read the excerpt from the song, \brother, can you spare a dime?\
once i built a tower, up to the sun,
brick, and rivet, and lime,
once i built a tower,
now its done—

which reality of the great depression does the excerpt convey?
○ stock market crash
○ decreased demand for products
○ increased unemployment
○ lower agricultural production

Explanation:

The song excerpt describes a worker who built large structures but now has no work, which aligns with the mass job loss that defined the Great Depression. The other options do not match the focus on a laborer's lost livelihood: the stock market crash is a financial event, decreased product demand is an economic trend not referenced here, and lower agricultural production is unrelated to construction work.

Answer:

increased unemployment
