Explanation:

First Question:

The Glass - Steagall Banking Act of 1933 created the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), which was established to protect bank deposits. The Emergency Banking Relief Act was about reopening banks, the Federal Securities Act regulated the stock market, and the Securities and Exchange Commission was for overseeing the stock market. So the correct option is related to FDIC.

When the Supreme Court struck down some New Deal programs, FDR's response was to appoint new justices over time (through normal judicial appointments as vacancies occurred) to influence the court's decisions. He did not abandon the New Deal, ignore the rulings, or propose reducing the Court's power in a way that was successful or the main response.

Conservatives criticized the New Deal for interfering too much with the free market, as they believed in limited government intervention in the economy. The other options: not providing enough relief was more of a liberal or left - leaning criticism, the New Deal was not focused too heavily on urban areas, and it did not neglect infrastructure development (in fact, it had many infrastructure projects).

Answer:

B. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
