Explanation:

The Great Society programs under President Johnson aimed to reduce poverty and eliminate racial injustice. One of its major goals was poverty - reduction in the US. Voting rights protection was part of the Civil Rights Movement efforts related to but not the main purpose of the Great Society. Increasing the size of the armed forces was not its focus. Ensuring a college education for every American was not the central purpose.
