Answer 1

Answer: granted pensions to the elderly.

The Tennessee Valley Authority did not accomplish the objectives of granting a pension to the elderly

Explanation: The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is a federally owned corporation in the United States created by congressional charter on May 18, 1933, to provide navigation, flood control, electricity generation, fertilizer manufacturing, and economic development to the Tennessee Valley, a region particularly affected by the Great Depression.

TVA was envisioned not only as a provider but also as a regional economic development agency that would use federal experts and rural electrification to help modernize the rural region's economy and society.
