Answer 1

Option B. The following is a true statement about the Works Progress Administration: The WPA formed one of the largest federal programs for the support of the arts.

Step-by-step explanation:

On April 8th, 1935, Congress voted to approve the creation of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), which was a central part of President Roosevelt's New Deal plan.

The agency employed more than 8.4 million people on 1.4 million public positions before 1943 when it was disarmed. Although the agency employed most of its participants in jobs such as constructing roads and public buildings, the program was known for its participation in the arts. In fact, under the WPA, diverse artists such as musicians, actors, writers and directors were hired to participate in large artistic projects.
