Answer 1

The photograph of the Bonus Army marchers in 1932 best illustrates the response: **The federal government’s seeming lack of sympathy for everyday Americans made Hoover increasingly unpopular.** The Bonus Army, composed of World War I veterans demanding their promised bonuses, highlights the struggles and frustrations of ordinary citizens during the Great Depression, as well as the government's inadequate response to their needs, contributing to President Hoover's declining popularity.
