Answer 1

The correct answer is D) genuinely cared about the disadvantaged in society.

President Lyndon Johnson genuinely cared about the disadvantaged in society.

After President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, the vice president, Lyndon B, Johnson became the 36th President of the US. He really was interested in the difficult situation of many Americans. Economic problems, among others, had hit hard many citizens that were living in harsh conditions. That is why President Johnson created the "Great Society," a series of reforms to help the ones in need in the country.

Johnson wanted to diminish poverty in America, combat crime, and eliminate discrimination based on race. He supported important health legislation such as Medicare and also supported the Civil Rights Act.
