Question

"Our greatest primary task is to put people to work. This is no unsolvable problem if we face it wisely and courageously.

Answer 2

Answer: B) To put people back to work.

Step-by-step explanation:

During his presidential campaign, Roosevelt had assured the American nation he would develop what was called a New Deal. He created programs meant to put people back to work and to improve the country's distressed financial system. His Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) created the Civil Works Administration (CWA) and the Public Works Administration (PWA), both aimed to provide new jobs in building roads, hospitals, airports, schools, and bridges.
