Answer 1

A. by providing economic relief during the great depression

Answer 2

A. by providing economic relief during the Great Depression

Step-by-step explanation:

The Great Depression of the 1930s was the largest recession in history and its causes were overproduction of goods and the expansion of unbridled credit by banks.

The measures taken by then-Republican President Herbert Hoover during the crisis were to raise taxes and impose tariffs, which aggravated the Great Depression and the plight of people.

The Great Depression was overcome with the plan of succeeding president Hoover, the Democratic Franklin Roosevelt. This plan was called the New Deal, and consisted of expanding government spending on social protection, job creation, and reforming the American economic and governmental system. The New Deal brought about economic and social relief, serving as a support for the Democrats in the US Government.
