PART B: Which section from the text best supports the answer to Part A?
A. "First of all, let me state the simple fact that when you deposit money in a bank,
the bank does not put the money into a safe deposit vault. It invests your money
in many different forms of credit - in bonds, in commercial paper, in mortgages
and in many other kinds of loans." (Paragraph 4)
B. "Because of undermined confidence on the part of the public, there was a
general rush by a large portion of our population to turn bank deposits into
currency or gold - a rush so great that the soundest banks couldn't get enough
currency to meet the demand." (Paragraph 5)
C. “I can assure you, my friends, that it is safer to keep your money in a reopened
bank than it is to keep it under the mattress." (Paragraph 14)
D. "I hope you can see, my friends, from this essential recital of what your
Government is doing that there is nothing complex, nothing radical in the
process." (Paragraph 18)
