The Great Depression was the largest and longest economic decline in U. S. history. People were left jobless, homeless, and hungry. Florida was no different. With Florida already suffering from damage caused by hurricanes, the Great Depression hit Florida sooner than the rest of the country. One problem was that once the stock market crashed, people no longer vacationed in Florida. A large part of Florida's economy relied on tourism. To make matters worse, a swarm of fruit flies destroyed many of Florida's citrus crops.

Based on the text, which statement best explains why the Great Depression impacted Florida sooner than other states?

A. The state was trying to recover from hurricanes, a lack of tourists, and the devastation of citrus crops.
B. Citizens of the state were especially hungry because they had been without jobs for more than a year.
C. The state spent all of its money on tourist attractions, making it impossible to help jobless citizens.
D. The destruction of citrus crops affected the food supply in the state, making it difficult to feed residents and tourists.

Read the following excerpt from "dark tower" by claude mckay before you choose your answer. "we shall not always plant while others reap the golden increment of bursting fruit, nor always countenance, abject and mute, that lesser men should hold their brothers cheap; not everlastingly while others sleep shall we beguile their limbs with mellow flute, not always bend to some more subtle brute. we were not made eternally to weep. the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark, white stars, is no less lovely being dark; and there are buds that cannot bloom at all in light, but crumple, piteous, and fall. so in the dark we hid the heart that bleeds, and wait, and tend our agonizing needs." in context, the expression "the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark,/ white stars, is no less lovely being dark; " is best interpreted as a. the light of the stars overpowers the black of night b. the black of night overpowers the light of the stars c. black and white contribute equally to the beauty of the night sky d. black and white continuously compete for prominence in the night sky
