Explanation:

1. For the first question, the War Industries Board was established during World War I to coordinate the economy for wartime production, allocating resources and setting production priorities. The Creel Committee was for propaganda, the Department of Commerce predates WWI in its basic form and has broader non - wartime functions, and the National Recovery Administration was part of the New Deal in the 1930s.
2. For the second question, the Selective Service Act in the U.S. during WWI allowed for the conscription of men into the military, increasing the number of troops available and thus increasing the U.S.'s capacity to provide military support to the Allies.

Answer:

1. B. War Industries Board
2. C. It increased the capacity of the United States to provide military support to the Allies.
