Question

why was herbert hoovers reelection campaign so ineffective?
he was viewed as inactive and unresponsive to the declining economy.
he was deemed responsible for the booming economy of the 1920s.
he was feared for his plans for massive government expansion.

Explanation:

During the Great Depression, Hoover's response to the economic crisis was seen as inadequate (inactive/unresponsive), harming his reelection campaign. The booming economy of the 1920s wasn't blamed on him negatively for reelection, and he opposed massive government expansion (so that option is incorrect).

Answer:

A. He was viewed as inactive and unresponsive to the declining economy.
