The correct answer is:

The invention of passenger elevators.

Explanation:

The invention of passenger elevators was the greatest factor in the development of skyscrapers (very tall commercial buildings).<em> The first skyscraper was the Home Insurance Building (originally made of 10 stories) in Chicago, and designed by William Le Baron Jenney.</em> Skyscrapers became more frequent and each time taller because they allowed to create more stories (floors) and to make the most out of a limited space, mainly <em>because passenger elevators made possible to translate from floor to floor without using the stairs. </em>

The Works Progress Administration was able to build or renovate 110,000 public buildings (schools, post offices, government office buildings) and for constructing almost 600 airports, more than 500,000 miles of roads, and over 100,000 bridges; it also kept an average of 2.1 million workers employed and pumped needed money into the economy.

Explanation:

The Works Progress Administration was a government agency established during the Great Depression by President Roosevelt to help solve the massive unemployment problem at the time. It was the largest of the government agencies in the history of the United States created to set up relief and public works.

From 1935 to 1943, it provided jobs for about eight million people, costing about $11 billion. In almost every community in the United States, there are parks, bridges, and schools funded by the WPA. By 1940, it had built about 4,383 new school buildings, improved another 30,000, built 130 new hospitals, and improved another 1,670 hospitals.

Its largest single project was the Tennessee Valley Authority, whose mission was to build dams in the Tennessee Valley for power generation. Camp David and the Golden Gate Bridge were also built by the WPA.
