Answer 1

The correct answer is D) Its goals were aimed largely at the reform of the capitalist system.

What is true of the Second New Deal is "Its goals were aimed largely at the reform of the capitalist system."

The Second New Deal started in 1935 and included new programs to extend federal aid and stimulate the nation's economy, such as the Work Progress Administration and the Rural Electrification Administration.

In the decade of 1930s, rural America had no electricity and clear water. The Rural Electrification Administration hired Lester Beall, a graphic designer that created a series of posters describing the benefits of electrification for the communities. The poster created in 1937 is shielded at Rochester Institute of Technology Cary Graphic Arts Collection.

President Roosevelt’s works progress administration of 1935 considered many infrastructure programs for the benefit of the U.S. citizens. But it also considered The Federal Project Number One. This was a program aimed to help writers, musicians, and artists. The aim of Roosevelt was to get jobs for these people in order to entertain the American citizens during those difficult times.
