1. The passage used to answer the questions is:
When the [crisis] struck, nationalists were quick to identify the
cause in [economic liberalism]. . . . As the crisis spread from
country to country, global commerce and the gold standard
increasingly came under attack. Once praised as the engine of
economic progress and prosperity, international trade was now
viewed as a source of foreign contagion. More than ever before,
the nation’s economy had to be protected from cheap goods
from abroad, and saved from reliance on foreign materials.
[Governments raised tariffs] and each time a government [did
so], it increased the pressure on others to do likewise. This
generated considerable hostility. . . . The failure to cooperate in
the face of the economic threat of the early 1930s was a
harbinger of the inability of the powers to work together to deal
with the threat of aggressive nationalism in the latter part of the
decade.”
