Question

which of the following best completes the diagram?

high unemployment
and loss of wealth → roosevelts new deal → ?

○ widespread opposition to government assistance
○ increased poverty in urban areas
○ increased power of the federal government

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the context of Roosevelt's New Deal. The New Deal was a response to the Great Depression (high unemployment, loss of wealth). It involved many federal programs and interventions, which expanded the federal government's role and power.

• "Widespread opposition to government assistance" is incorrect because the New Deal provided government assistance (like relief programs) and had support, though some opposition existed, but it's not the main outcome.
• "Increased poverty in urban areas" is incorrect as the New Deal aimed to reduce poverty through jobs, relief, etc.
• "Increased power of the federal government" is correct because the New Deal introduced numerous federal agencies and programs (e.g., Social Security, FDIC), expanding federal authority in economic and social policy.

Answer:

C. Increased power of the federal government (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C with C being this option; if original labels differ, adjust, but based on content, the correct option is the one stating "Increased power of the federal government")
