Explicación
This question is asking about the actions and policies of President Herbert Hoover during his presidency. Hoover was the 31st President of the United States, serving from 1929 to 1933. He is often criticized for his handling of the Great Depression, which began in 1929. Option A suggests that Hoover appeared not to care about economic problems. This is somewhat accurate, as Hoover initially took a limited role in the economy, believing in "rugged individualism" and that the economy would self-correct. However, this statement is somewhat misleading as Hoover did take some actions to address the economic crisis, albeit too late and insufficiently.Option B refers to "fireside chats," which were a series of radio addresses given by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, not Hoover. These chats were used by Roosevelt to communicate directly with the American people during his presidency, which began after Hoover's term.Option C states that Hoover promised Americans massive federal relief. This is not accurate, as Hoover was initially reluctant to involve the federal government in providing direct relief to individuals. He believed in voluntary cooperation and local government action rather than federal intervention.Option D, "None of the above," is the correct answer. None of the statements accurately describe President Hoover's actions or policies during his presidency. While he did take some actions to address the economic crisis, they were not as described in options A, B, or C.
