Try to find a spot in the paragraph below where you can break the paragraph up in a way that allows for two functioning paragraphs, and the newly formed second paragraph refers to words or ideas from the paragraph that precedes it. The Great Depression was the worst economic collapse of modern times, lasting ten years. It began with the stock market crash of 1929. By 1932, one quarter of all Americans were unemployed. Manufacturing areas fared even worse. In Chicago, for instance, 40 percent of those seeking jobs could not find them. During one year, 80 percent of workers in Toledo, Ohio were unemployed.
