One of the most important economic transformations in the years after World War I was?
Multiple choice questions allow one to asses the likelihood of each answer being correct, and hopefully one can eliminate some answers, quickly make a good guess at the right answer and continue with the test, making a high mark.
None of these answers stands out as the an obvious best answer, unless the question is related to other material that stresses one theme above others. Usually the shift to reliance on the automobile is associated with the building of the interstate highway system that was after World War II, so I dismiss option %26quot;a%26quot;. The industrial heartland did not shift, so I dismiss %26quot;c%26quot;. The relationship between government and business did change, with a much more expanded role for government in the US and internationally. The ideology of the role of government was enhanced but the relation to business did not become adversarial until the depression of the 1930s.
Therefore my answer is %26quot;b%26quot;, though the word important seems odd, it was a major transformation.
