Answer 1

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

One result of the Dust Bowl was that several million people on the plains abandoned their farms. However, the statement that California became the most populous state in the union as a result of the Dust Bowl is false. California already had a significant population before the Dust Bowl, and while some people did migrate to California during that time, it did not lead to it becoming the most populous state. Additionally, it is true that Mexican Americans and African Americans took advantage of the opportunity to settle abandoned land. However, the statement that big industrial agricultural cooperatives broke up into smaller units is false. The Dust Bowl did lead to changes in farming practices and government intervention, but it did not directly cause the breakup of big industrial agricultural cooperatives.
