Answer 1

All students will point to the facts that the automobile was the centerpiece of American economic activity and a quintessential consumer durable good. Automobiles triggered and stimulated production of petroleum, chemicals, glass, steel, and rubber. Culturally, the automobile facilitated the growth of suburbs and allowed some cities, like Los Angeles, to grow. Overall, good students will point out that the automobile helped to homogenize American culture by making the population more mobile.

Answer 2

This question gives students the opportunity to define what they mean by success or failure. If success is defined as making people stop drinking, then it failed. If success is defined by widespread compliance with the law, the expansion of organized crime points to its failure. But if success is defined merely in reducing the sale and use of alcohol, then it succeeded. The text points to the reduced incidents of drunkenness and deaths from alcoholism.
