Explanation:

Question 6

The graph shows U.S. agricultural goods sold overseas. In the 1920s, while the economy boomed in other sectors, farmers faced issues as agricultural exports declined. Option A: Government purchasing surplus was a later New Deal measure, not directly from this graph's info. Option B: The graph's decline in agricultural exports suggests farmers didn't share the 1920s prosperity, which matches. Option C: Speculators buying farmland isn't directly tied to export values. Option D: The graph is about overseas sales, not domestic demand/prices. So B is correct.

The 1920s economic boom benefited many, but minorities (like African Americans, immigrants) and railroad workers (railroads faced competition from cars/trucks) didn't fully participate. Option A: Manufacturers and real estate developers thrived. Option B: Stock brokers and auto workers benefited. Option C: Bankers and construction workers were part of the boom. Option D: Minorities faced discrimination, railroad workers faced industry decline, so they didn't participate.

After WWI, African Americans migrated North (Great Migration) and veterans returned, competing for jobs/housing with whites. Option A: Voting rights (15th Amendment, not post-WWI first time). Option B: Baseball integration was later (Jackie Robinson 1940s). Option C: Eastern European immigrants were earlier, and tension was more with African Americans' migration. Option D: Migration and veteran return created job/housing competition, causing racial unrest. Correct.

Answer:

B. Farmers did not generally participate in the prosperity of the 1920s.
