Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

The Smoot-Hawley tariff was a law of the 1930s which set the highest tariffs in U.S. history (60 percent). It set off an international trade war and caused the decline in trade that is often considered a one of the causes of the severity of the worldwide depression of the 1930s. This set the highest rates for the 20th century.
