Answer:
The correct answer is D. 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.

Being a sharecropper or raising cotton in 1875 in Mississippi is exhausting, demeaning and destroys personal initiative. Being a share cropper might mean that you will have a little something left over for yourself if you have a very good crop. But without good crops, you will have nothing. My family and I work in the fields from sun up to sundown. We don’t own the land we work on. Our owner lets us grow crops on his land and takes a percentage of any profit. Sometimes we make enough money to have enough to eat and clothe ourselves. But it is more often that we just barely scrimp by. We eat what we can grow and on occasion, we can kill a chicken that we have raised. It is not a life you would wish on anyone.
