1) True
2) False

Answer 1

Owning a car during the 1950s in the United States was necessary for living in the suburbs and commuting to cities.

Step-by-step explanation:

Owning a car during the 1950s in the United States was mostly difficult for all but the very rich. It was a sign of status and success, unnecessary for living in the suburbs, and one of the provisions of the GI Bill.

However, this statement is False. Living in suburbia made owning a car a necessity since many who lived in suburbia worked in cities and had to commute daily. As many necessary services were not within walking distance of suburbs, a family vehicle was a must.
