C. To provide employment through federal deficit spending.

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, "I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people." 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.

How did nationalism affect the foreign affairs of the United States

Jobisdone [24]

Nationalism-the loyalty and devotion to one's nation.
For one, people in America were like "lets go to war with Britain" which spurred the War of 1812. So if that's any correlation to how it affected foreign affairs, there ya go.
Our foreign affairs were affected because we were proud to be Americans. We got more active in conflicts and defended our country and its people mainly due to agrarianism (You'll probably learn about that in US History in HS), which was the belief Thomas Jefferson had that if people owned land, they would fight for this country.
To really answer your question, we were on and off friends with our foreign comrades. We went to war as a result, and established our power in the world.

Norma-Jean [14]

Yes, one reason is that America was extremely effective. The second reason is the rich were rich and had awesome lives yet the poor battle and had a hard life.
The period after Reconstruction, the most recent couple of many years of the nineteenth century, was known as the "Plated Age," a term instituted by Mark Twain in 1873. The Gilded Age was a time of change in the economy, innovation, government, and social traditions of America.

Why don't light get absorbed

mina [271]

Light does get absorbed, that's why we see black. If nothing reflects, all of the colors in the light gets absorbed into whatever it is hitting and we see black, the absence of light. Even if we see color, the colors that we dont see are being absorbed. When we do see color, it is because that color light gets reflected off of the object.
