Question

○ he led efforts to loan money to hoovervilles.
○ he let the depression continue until world war ii.
○ he hired one thousand economists to advise him.
○ he wanted to provide indirect aid to people.

Explanation:

Herbert Hoover's commitment to individualism meant he favored limited government intervention. He opposed direct relief to individuals, instead supporting indirect aid like loans to businesses and local governments to preserve self-reliance. The other options are incorrect: Hoover did not fund Hoovervilles, the Depression persisted but he took some limited actions, and he did not hire 1000 economists.

Answer:

He wanted to provide indirect aid to people.
