the answer is b in khan

Step-by-step explanation:

Out-of-work Americans, unable to pay mortgages or rent, were evicted and made homeless. They built the shantytowns in public parks and vacant lots.

Answer 2

Hoovervilles, which were really just shantytowns occupied by the newly homeless as a result of the Stock Market Crash of 1929, emerged due to the economic devastation that took place in the United States as a result of the '29 crash and the resulting Great Depression. They were named after Herbert Hoover, who was largely blamed for the Depression.
