Explanation:

All of these are ways in which the New Deal benefitted Americans. The New Deal provided poverty relief, universal pensions, welfare benefits for the handicapped and insurance for the unemployed through the Social Security Act of 1935. It also provided skills and training for young people through the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). The Civil Works Administration (CWA) helped with the construction of buildings, roads and bridges. Cultural projects and the arts were subsidized through the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and the groups of projects called Federal One. Finally, the New Deal gave the right to unionize and strike to workers through the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA).
