Read the passage to answer questions 9-12

At the turn of the twentieth century, people's attitudes toward money were
far more conservative than they are today. Borrowing and being in debt
were viewed as a moral failing, almost as a disgrace. Thrift and saving were
highly prized, and people who needed to borrow to make ends meet were
seen as careless, unreliable, or extravagant. The focus in the economy as a
whole was on developing large corporations like railroads, oil companies,
and other companies that produced basic goods and services.
Then, in the 1920s, the economy changed. A huge network of banks and
financial institutions developed, helping money to move more quickly and
easily through the economy. At the same time, the economy was increasing
its focus on consumer goods clothing, cars, household appliances, and
other things that individuals buy. To help promote the sale of these items,
consumers were encouraged to buy on credit. If they could not afford an
item right away, a store or a bank might lend them the money, which they
could pay back in installments.
With the development of consumer credit and installment purchases,
people's attitudes toward debt and spending changed. The model citizen
