Question

what fueled the consumerism of the 1920s? americans buying nonessential goods with cash; americans buying only essential goods on credit; americans buying nonessential goods on credit; americans buying essential goods with cash

Explanation:

In the 1920s, consumerism was fueled by the availability of credit, which allowed Americans to purchase nonessential goods (like new appliances, cars) on credit. Buying nonessential goods with cash (first option) or essential goods with cash (fourth) doesn't drive consumerism as much. Buying only essential goods on credit (second) is incorrect as consumerism involves nonessentials. So the correct option is the one about buying nonessential goods on credit.

Answer:

Americans buying nonessential goods on credit
