Question

US automobile manufacturers________during the war at the government’s request.

A. Stopped building cars
B. Built more cars
C. Shut down their factories

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Stopped building cars.

Answer 2

The correct answer is A) Stopped building cars.

Assuming that the question is referencing World War II, the US government asked businesses like the automobile industry to stop making cars. Instead, the government insisted that these companies use their factories and goods to produce resources that can be used for the war effort. This included a number of goods like guns, ammunition, tanks, etc. The change in production from cars to war resources helped America to be successful in World War II.
