Answer 1

B. The government limited supplies of certain goods to ensure enough for the military.Rationing was a system implemented in the United States during World War II to manage the supply and demand of essential goods and materials. The goal was to prioritize resources for the military and ensure that civilians also had access to necessary items, though in limited quantities. While some families may have struggled to adjust to smaller portions or substitutions, widespread hunger was not a typical outcome of rationing. The government did not tax citizens for buying extra goods; instead, they issued ration books with coupons that limited how much of certain items could be purchased. Consumer goods production did not end, but it was significantly altered to focus on war materials.
