The four true statements about the World War II Home Front war effort are:

  1. Women took on roles to support the war effort by going to work in factories. These ladies were nicknamed 'Rosie the Riveter.'
  2. Victory gardens supported the war effort by people growing their own food in their yards/gardens at home.
  3. People were asked to gather items that could be recycled, so they had metal, rubber and paper drives.
  4. Rationing of foods like meat, coffee, butter and sugar to allow for more to go overseas to the soldiers.

The other statements regarding children not participating in Home Front activities and the American Red Cross only serving overseas are not true. Children did participate in various activities like collecting scrap materials for the war effort, and the American Red Cross was involved in Home Front activities as well.
