The German Communist Party lost many of its members.

Answer 1

The statements that best characterize Germany in the 1920s are:

1. The country faced severe economic problems. - The Weimar Republic experienced hyperinflation in the early 1920s and significant economic instability, particularly due to the reparations imposed after World War I.

2. The German Communist Party lost many of its members. - While the Communist Party did experience fluctuations in support, the overall political landscape led to shifts that saw a decline in its membership towards the end of the decade, especially as other parties, such as the National Socialists, gained strength.

The other two statements, "The country became more unified politically" and "The rate of unemployment fell sharply," do not accurately reflect the complexities of Germany's political situation and economic difficulties during this period. In fact, political extremism grew, and unemployment rose significantly during the late 1920s as a consequence of the Great Depression.
