Answer 1

The response that played the BIGGEST role in causing the Dust Bowl is:

A) high demand for agricultural crops.

During the 1920s, extensive farming practices and high demand for crops led to over-farming of the land, which contributed to soil degradation and erosion. This, along with severe drought conditions in the 1930s, resulted in the environmental disaster known as the Dust Bowl.
