Answer 2

The correct answer is C) VISTA

The Great Society program under Lyndon Johnson that was the domestic equivalent of John Kennedy's Peace Corps was AmeriCorps VISTA.

As part of his promise of combating poverty in America, President Lyndon B. Jhonson signed the Economic Opportunity Act in 1964, which was compared to the US version of the Peace Corps created by former President John F. Kennedy. The goal was to open more jobs as part of Johnson's "War of Poverty in America."

When Lyndon B. Johnson became the President of the United States after the death of John F. Kennedy, he created an interesting program called "Great Society." The goal of this series of programs and pieces of legislation was to end poverty in America, reduce the inequality in American society, reduce crime, and support environmental actions.

He coined the term "Great Society" during a speech at the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor.
