Answer:

The Economic Opportunity Act primarily intended to solve POVERTY

Step-by-step explanation:

The Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 was implemented as a response to growing poverty in many cities across the United States.

While poverty was main focus of the act, it intended to do this by encouraging education, providing a safety net for people without jobs and even support for the elderly in the form of healthcare.

The idea was to conduct a grassroots effort to improve socio-economic conditions for people of all ages.

It was enacted by President Johnson who famously called it his 'War on Poverty'
