Particularly:

21. FDR greatly expanded the power of __________ unions during his ____ _____ policies in response to the _______ ________

This type of question is always very clear tot he person who writes it down. But, not becessarily to the test-taker, and I don't believe it's testing their knowledge of FDR's term.

And:


24. The Bretton Woods conference led to the creation of what international economic regime?

From wikipedia:

Formal regimes
The Bretton Woods Conference led to the establishment of the IMF and the IBRD (now the World Bank), which still remain powerful forces in the world economy.

As mentioned, a major point of common ground at the Conference was the goal to avoid a recurrence of the closed markets and economic warfare that had characterized the 1930s. Thus, negotiators at Bretton Woods also agreed that there was a need for an institutional forum for international cooperation on monetary matters. Already in 1944 the British economist John Maynard Keynes emphasized "the importance of rule-based regimes to stabilize business expectations"—something he accepted in the Bretton Woods system of fixed exchange rates. Currency troubles in the interwar years, it was felt, had been greatly exacerbated by the absence of any established procedure or machinery for intergovernmental consultation.

As a result of the establishment of agreed upon structures and rules of international economic interaction, conflict over economic issues was minimized, and the significance of the economic aspect of international relations seemed to recede.

I don't think the question is testing their knowledge of Bretton Woods; but rather of grasping what the tester is asking.
