The Great Depression began around 1929. Agricultural regions and communities were the most severely affected, as the fall in agricultural prices was greater and more prolonged than that in industrial goods prices.

This is a 1-mark question, so one crisp sentence (or two very short ones) is sufficient. Examiners look for two specific facts: the start year (1929) and the worst-affected group (agricultural regions/communities). The reason (fall in agricultural prices being steeper) adds value but keep it brief. Avoid writing a full paragraph.
