Which time period falls during Prohibition in the US?

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

Answer: (A)

Prohibition in the United States lasted from 1920 to 1933, when the sale, manufacture, and transport of alcoholic beverages were illegal. That makes the time span 1920–1930 entirely within Prohibition, so it is the period that falls during that era. The other ranges either occur before Prohibition started or extend beyond its end in 1933 (for example, 1930–1940 covers years after Prohibition ended). The repeal came with the 21st Amendment in 1933, so any period beyond that year isn’t during Prohibition.
