Answer 1

The two correct answers that led to a significant increase in the number of factory jobs available to African American workers during World War I are:

**b. increased production of war materials**
**c. a reduction in the number of European immigrants**

During World War I, there was a heightened demand for war materials, which led to increased production in factories. At the same time, many European immigrants, who would have typically filled factory jobs, were unavailable due to the war. This created more opportunities for African American workers, particularly those migrating from the South seeking better employment opportunities in the North.
