Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The Townsend Plan promised every senior citizen $200 per month , regardless of past earnings. Under the social insurance program of the Social Security Act a worker whose earnings averaged $100 month for 40 years would collect a Social Security retirement benefit of only $35 month.
