Explanation:

1. For question 11: FDR's New Deal was structured around three core goals: immediate relief for unemployed/starving Americans, economic recovery to restart the economy, and systemic reform to prevent another depression. Reducing federal programs was the opposite of the New Deal, tariffs were a Hoover-era policy, and military expansion was for WWII later on.
