Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The Works Progress Administration (WPA) was part of the New Deal. Critics argued that such government - run programs (like the WPA creating jobs) expanded the government's power too much. Let's analyze each option:

  • "that Roosevelt was treating the wealthy unfairly": The WPA was more about job creation for the unemployed, not focused on treating the wealthy unfairly, so this is incorrect.
  • "that the program took too much power from the government": The WPA was a government program, so it would not take power from the government, this is illogical.
  • "that Roosevelt was enacting a second New Deal": The WPA was part of the original New Deal's efforts, and the idea of a "second New Deal" is not the main criticism of the WPA's job - creation aspect.
  • "that the program gave too much power to the government": Since the WPA was a large - scale government program creating jobs, critics who were concerned about government overreach would argue it gave too much power to the government.

Answer:

that the program gave too much power to the government.
