Answer:

He intends for the New Deal to benefit all Americans in many ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

New Deal was a number of programs proposed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to help deal with the economic crisis from the Great Depression that affected the US. The Deal was a plan to help revive the US and regain its economy and help the people.

In the given excerpt from the President's speech, he lists the things his new plan will work towards attaining- "improve working conditions [. . .] provide useful work [. . . ] education [help disabled people . . .] protect the consumer against . . . monopoly and speculation." These points show his intention to make the New Deal be beneficial for all Americans, from all backgrounds and all aspects of life.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
