Question

1. which of the following was not a result of the stock market crash?

widespread unemployment
failing businesses
political instability
bank closures

Explanation:

The 1929 stock market crash triggered the Great Depression. Widespread unemployment occurred as businesses cut jobs; failing businesses resulted from lost capital and reduced consumer demand; bank closures happened when panicked customers withdrew funds en masse. Political instability was not a direct immediate result—governments remained intact, though policies changed to address the crisis.

Answer:

political instability
