Answer 1

The correct answer is: **Most marginalized groups were hit harder by the Great Depression than other Americans.**While the New Deal did offer some assistance, marginalized groups (including women and minorities) faced disproportionately higher unemployment rates, lower wages, and greater difficulty accessing relief programs. Existing societal prejudices exacerbated the economic hardships they faced. They were often the first fired and the last hired. Discrimination in relief programs also meant they received less aid than white Americans.
