Question

why did president roosevelt need to create a second new deal?
americans were prospering and needed to find new ways to spend and invest their money.
the unemployment rate had dropped to an all - time low, and there was a need to find new workers.
the economy continued to struggle with high unemployment rates and widespread poverty.
there was no longer a need for the government to support social programs for americans.

Explanation:

The First New Deal did not fully resolve the economic crisis of the Great Depression. High unemployment and widespread poverty persisted, so President Roosevelt introduced the Second New Deal to address these ongoing hardships with more extensive social and economic programs. The other options are incorrect: Americans were not prospering, unemployment was not at an all-time low, and there was still a critical need for government social support.

Answer:

The economy continued to struggle with high unemployment rates and widespread poverty.
