Answer 1

The most fitting response to the idea that some rural Georgians never realized there was a Great Depression is:

**Many citizens had been struggling economically for years.**

This reflects the context of the agricultural economy in the South and the persistent economic difficulties faced by rural communities even before the Great Depression, which made the impact of the nationwide economic downturn less noticeable to them.
