Explanation:

Question 3

• "Complacent" means being satisfied and unconcerned, which doesn't fit as investors selling at a loss wouldn't be unconcerned.
• "Frustrated" means feeling annoyed or disappointed due to unmet expectations. Selling stocks for less than paid would lead to disappointment and annoyance, so this fits.
• "Hopeful" implies optimism, but selling at a loss is not a hopeful situation.
• "Greedy" is about excessive desire for wealth, which isn't related to being forced to sell at a loss.

• Option 1: Buying stocks at lower prices is about investing, not withdrawing from banks.
• Option 2: People don't withdraw to close banks; they want to protect their money, not close institutions.
• Option 3: During financial crises (like the Great Depression), after investors lost money in stocks, people feared banks would fail and they'd lose their savings, so they withdrew. This matches the context.
• Option 4: There's no historical basis for this; Hoover's policies weren't about taking money for the poor in this way.

B. frustrated
