During Prohibition in the United States, which approximate years were in effect?

• A. 1910-1920
• B. 1920-1930
• C. 1930-1940
• D. 1940-1950

Answer: (B)

Prohibition lasted from when the 18th Amendment took effect in 1920 and continued into the early 1930s, ending with repeal in 1933. Among the given ranges, 1920-1930 best fits the period when the nationwide ban was in force for the bulk of the 1920s and into the start of the 1930s. The other options miss the start or end of the era, while the 1920-1930 choice captures the core timeframe most accurately, acknowledging that the prohibition continued into the early 1930s before repeal.
