Answer:
The correct answer is:
- There was stagnation in new automobile sales and household consumer goods after 1926.
- Frenzied real-estate speculation in Florida and California had come to a stop.
Explanation:
The beginning of the Great Depression could not be more abrupt. In just six days, at the end of October 1929, the New York Stock Exchange sank loudly and unexpectedly. The crac erased at a stroke the feverish optimism of the stock market and the supposed invulnerability of Republican America in the 1920s.
The Stock Exchange had risen without interruption since the beginning of the decade, coinciding with a long period of economic boom that its contemporaries saw as an era of endless prosperity. During the happy twenties, the country devoted itself enthusiastically to the production and acquisition of consumer goods typical of a modern industrial economy.
It was the new sectors of the automobile and household appliances that boosted the economic development of those years and the consolidation of an urban mass market. Meanwhile, the thriving stock market became the symbol of the growth potential of the US economy. By 1929, there were tens of thousands of citizens who had been tempted by stock market speculation, largely financed by bank loans.
