Explanation:

1. For the New Deal question: The Social Security Administration was established to create retirement (elderly) insurance as part of the New Deal. The other agencies handled labor relations, bank deposits, and public works respectively.
2. For the 1920s auto industry question: The growth of automobiles drove demand for raw materials and related goods like steel, rubber, and gasoline, boosting linked industries and the overall economy. The Industrial Revolution predated the 1920s, female engineer employment was not a major stimulator, and U.S. dependence on foreign cars did not end in this era.
3. For the colonial representative government question: Representative government in colonial America allowed eligible citizens to elect officials, giving them a voice in governance. The other options describe authoritarian or non-representative systems.

Answer:

1. b. Social Security Administration
2. c. increased demand for products such as steel, rubber, and gasoline
3. a. It gave citizens a voice in their government.
