Question

This photo was taken during the Great Depression. A man sitting in a chair. Which statement best explains why this is a weak supporting image for Years of Dust? a It does not show how the Dust Bowl changed people’s lives. b It does not show a migrant worker with several young children. c It does not show how people live on the Great Plains today. d It does not show a person affected by the Depression.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A)

There is no correlation between the picture (attached) and how the Dust Bowl adversely and tragically punctuated and devastated lives in the Great Plains.

Step-by-step explanation:

The man is sitting on a chair. He is looking down at the artist with a smile on his face. The overall tonality of the image speaks to that of a wealthy man sitting on his chair at home satisfied with his life the way it is and trying to get a portrait taken of himself.

By way of contrast, during the Years of Dust, great rolling walls of dust swept across the Great Plains and left the children of the habitants suffocated, their crops buried and the animals blinded from the dust.

This altered the way the history of the great plains were recorded forever.
