D) believed that the Federal Government needed to extend the programs of the Great Society.

Answer 1

B) ignored the need for reform since there was relative economic affluence.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the United States, the post-World War II period was a time of prosperity. The Americans used the money they had saved during World War II to purchase consumer goods that were not available during the conflict. With the subsequent boom in the economy, thousands of people found jobs in the United States. The Americans were making more money and the nation had the highest standard of living in the world. Because of that, there was no reason to think about social reforms, once according to them, everything was just fine.
