Question

what did farmers and homeowners have in common during the great depression?
many lived in shantytowns called hoovervilles.
many could not pay what they owed to banks.
many migrated west to california.
many migrated west to oklahoma.

Explanation:

During the Great Depression, farmers faced falling crop prices and debt from loans (for equipment, land), while homeowners had mortgage debt. Both groups often couldn’t repay bank debts. Shantytowns (Hoovervilles) were more for the unemployed/impoverished generally, not specific to farmers/homeowners. Migration to California was more associated with Dust Bowl farmers (Okies), not all farmers or homeowners, and migrating to Oklahoma doesn't fit the context. So the commonality is struggling to pay bank debts.

Answer:

B. Many could not pay what they owed to banks.
