Answer 1

D. The Works Progress Administration (WPA) was an effort to provide jobs instead of welfare. The WPA was a program created by the US government during the Great Depression to provide employment opportunities to millions of unemployed Americans. The program funded public works projects, such as the construction of roads, bridges, and buildings, as well as the employment of artists, writers, and musicians. Its goal was to stimulate the economy by putting people back to work and providing them with a sense of dignity and purpose.
