11. Which of these groups was largely left out of the rising prosperity in America during the years immediately following World War II? A. blue-collar workers B. inner-city minorities C. suburban households D. small business owners

Answer 1

The question focuses on the social conditions that existed in America following World War II. Understanding this requires background knowledge of economics, politics, geographical location, gender, race and occupation during that post-war period. Analyzing the question and given options: Blue-collar workers saw an increase in union jobs and competitive wages because of industrial growth following the war's end. Suburban households witnessed a rise in prosperity due to home construction booms and GI bills' benefits. Small business owners gained from the economic boom led by increased manufacturing and higher household consumption. However, inner-city minorities largely experienced exclusion from this post-war prosperity. Social and structural racism often relegated inner-city minorities to poorer socioeconomic status levels and neglected neighborhoods, leading to unequal access to the benefits and opportunities witnessed by others during this period.
