Explanation:

The content is about writing an essay on the New Deal, involving historical analysis (related to the New Deal, FDR's programs) and essay - writing structure. The subfield of Social Science - History is appropriate as it deals with the historical events (Great Depression, New Deal programs) and their analysis, and also has elements of essay - writing which can be related to the Arts - Writing subfield, but History is more central here as it focuses on the historical context and evaluation of the New Deal.
