Explanation:

Question 1 (New Deal agency for "relief")

• Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA): Focused on agricultural recovery (reform/relief for farmers but more on price support, not direct relief for unemployed).
• Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC): Reformed banking system (insurance for deposits, not relief).
• Works Progress Administration (WPA): Provided jobs (relief) for unemployed, but Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was for young men, providing immediate relief through work.
• Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC): Employed young, unemployed men in conservation projects, directly providing relief (one of the first New Deal relief programs).

• Increased consumerism: Opposite of Great Depression (spending dropped).
• Economic disparity and homelessness: Hoovervilles were shantytowns of homeless people, symbolizing widespread poverty and homelessness from economic collapse.
• Agricultural Prosperity: Great Depression had agricultural crisis (overproduction, low prices), not prosperity.
• Rising stock prices: Stock market crashed, prices fell, not rose.

Answer:

D. Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC)
