Answer 1

1. **c.** to provide cheap, affordable electricity and promote conservation efforts in states plagued by dust storms and droughts (This refers to the Rural Electrification Administration, not the WPA) 2. **b.** a training program that taught women how to cook, sew, and iron (While the WPA did offer some training, its primary focus was on providing work through projects, not domestic skills training.) 3. **b.** Some believed that WPA projects were being used to prepare the U.S for war. (This wasn't a common criticism. Concerns revolved around cost, potential communist influences, political patronage, and worker productivity.) 4. **a.** Many men had been conscripted into military service or found jobs in factories. (The increased demand for labor during World War II effectively ended the need for the WPA.) 5. **b.** The WPA was a great success for the Roosevelt administration. (This is a subjective evaluation. The other options are quantifiable facts.) Vocabulary Matching: 6. **e.** Works Progress Administration 7. **b.** onset 8. **d.** conscript 9. **c.** diminish 10. **a.** domestic
