Answer 1

The correct answer is letter D.

Carter took over during a harsh winter and a terrible oil shortage. He proposed an energy program to help overcome the crisis, but Congress rejected it. It also tried to cut government spending and boost the country's poor economy. Many citizens could not find work and prices continued to rise.
