Answer 2

The correct answer is A) It made electricity available to rural communities throughout the U.S.

As part of the New Deal, the purpose of the Rural Electrification Administration was: "It made electricity available to rural communities throughout the U.S."

One of the most important pieces of legislation during the "New Deal," created by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, was the Rural Electrification Act of 1936. This was very helpful because it gave government loans for companies to install electric plants that produced electricity in the forgotten rural areas of the country.
