Question 4

Read the following excerpt from a historical text: 'The Dust Bowl of the 1930s was not a singular event but a culmination of factors. A prolonged and severe drought gripped the Great Plains, which was exacerbated by decades of agricultural practices that removed the deep-rooted native grasses. These factors left the topsoil exposed and vulnerable to the powerful winds that swept the region, leading to massive dust storms and economic devastation.' Which statement best identifies the central idea of this excerpt?

The Dust Bowl was a major economic disaster in the 1930s. The Dust Bowl was caused by a combination of natural drought and human agricultural practices. Powerful winds were the main cause of the dust storms in the Great Plains. The removal of native grasses was the sole reason for the Dust Bowl.
