a) Federally inspected and staffed by the state.
b) Federally inspected but not staffed by the state.
c) Not federally inspected but staffed by the state.
d) Neither federally inspected nor staffed by the state.

Answer 1

The Talmadge-Aiken Agreement plants are not federally inspected but staffed by the state.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Talmadge-Aiken Agreement plants are not federally inspected but staffed by the state.

The Talmadge-Aiken Agreement refers to a program launched in the 1930s to provide discounted electricity to rural areas served by South Carolina's rural electric cooperatives.

Under this agreement, the plants were operated by privately owned electric cooperatives but were staffed by state employees. Although the plants were not subject to federal inspection, they were overseen and regulated by the state. Therefore, option c) Not federally inspected but staffed by the state is the correct answer.
