A. An estimated 40 percent of the population remained in poverty.

Explanation:

During the 1920s, around 40 percent of people in the United States were poor, and over 60 percent were just below the poverty line, which could be defined in economic terms as vulnerable people.

African Americans, immigrant groups like the Irish and the Italians, farmers, and industrial workers were overpresented among the poor. For many of them, the supposed prosperity of the "roaring twenties" was nothing more than an illusion, because they did not get to enjoy it.

the cost of college has risen faster than inflation for many years.

the high price of student services and administration are two reasons for the rapid increase in cost.
