During World War II, many common household items were in short supply and rationing was common. People had very limited access to goods,

so they adjusted their expectations and habits. To use supplies that you did not need or indulge in luxuries was often considered unpatriotic.
What does this example illustrate?
OA the negative impact of scarcity
OB. how cultural values shift during a crisis
Oc. that it is easy to alter mainstream cultural norms
OD. that people today have more goods than they need

The answer that best fits this question is B) How cultural values shift during a crisis.

There are negative impacts of scarcity, but this shows more how people changed the way they acted in order to make up for the lack of items.

It is not easy to alter mainstream cultural norms. As soon as the supplies come back, people will go back to their methods.

People today do have more goods then they need, but this passage does nothing to illustrate that.

I hope this helps! :)
