the government borrowed money from citizens.

Answer 1

Interpreting these as possible effects of wartime (especially WWII) production:

- People needed government aid to survive — False. Wartime production greatly reduced unemployment and increased incomes, so fewer people relied on government relief programs.
- More women volunteered for noncombat groups — True. Many women joined auxiliary and civilian support organizations (and entered the workforce) to support the war effort.
- The average work week for people increased — True. Factories ran longer hours and used overtime to meet demand, raising average work weeks.
- The government borrowed money from citizens — True. Governments raised funds through bond drives (e.g., Liberty/War Bonds) and savings programs to finance the war.
