Question

to spur us recovery after the great depression, president roosevelt
○ loosened strict banking rules and oversight.
○ eliminated many forms of government funding.
○ restored pre-depression stock market regulations.
○ enacted numerous relief and welfare programs.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Roosevelt tightened banking regulations (e.g., Glass - Steagall Act), so "loosened" is wrong.
• Option 2: New Deal increased government funding (e.g., public works), so "eliminated" is wrong.
• Option 3: Pre - Depression regulations were weak; New Deal introduced stricter stock market regs (e.g., SEC), so "restored" is wrong.
• Option 4: Roosevelt's New Deal had relief (e.g., FERA) and welfare programs (e.g., Social Security - later, but relief programs were part) to spur recovery.

Answer:

D. enacted numerous relief and welfare programs.
