it is a primary source about the great depression.
it analyzes why the great depression occurred.
it provides reliable evidence about the lives of migrant workers during the great depression.

Explanation:

1. The first option is correct because Lange’s photographs (like Migrant Mother) showed how ordinary Americans were impacted by the Great Depression.
2. The third option (assuming the third box is "It is a primary source about the Great Depression") is correct as photographs from the time are primary sources.
3. The fifth option is correct as her work (e.g., documenting migrant workers) provides reliable evidence about their lives during the Depression. The second option is incorrect (her photos don’t focus on New Deal legislation), and the fourth is incorrect (photos don’t analyze why the Depression occurred, they show its effects).

Answer:

• It can help people better understand how the Great Depression affected ordinary Americans.
• It is a primary source about the Great Depression.
• It provides reliable evidence about the lives of migrant workers during the Great Depression.
