Beware of trojan horses is a common piece of advice. explain the historical context of this phrase
fiasKO [112]
The Trojan Horse is a tale from the Trojan War about the subterfuge that the Greeks used to enter the city of Troy and win the war. In the canonical version, after a fruitless 10-year siege, the Greeks constructed a huge wooden horse, and hid a select force of men inside. The Greeks pretended to sail away, and the Trojans pulled the horse into their city as a victory trophy. That night the Greek force crept out of the horse and opened the gates for the rest of the Greek army, which had sailed back under cover of night. The Greeks entered and destroyed the city of Troy, decisively ending the war. Therefor the advice is saying beware of tricks by your enemy and target.

What was the purpose of setting up the Public Works Administration and the Works Progress Administration?
Darya [45]

<em>C. To provide employment through federal deficit spending.</em>

Explanation:

Both the Public Works Administration and the Works Progress Administration were created by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was part of the New Deal, which was created in 1933 and was designed to help Americans during the Great Depression.

The Great Depression was an awful time in history, people were losing their jobs, homes, and could not afford basic items. When President Franklin D. Roosevelt was running for office, he would famously say, "<em>I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people</em>." He wanted to create programs and opportunities for people during the Great Depression, he called the series of programs and projects the New Deal.

Two of the programs that were implemented with the New Deal were the Public Works Administration and the Works Progress Administration. Both of these were designed to give Americans jobs and put money in the hands of the people.
