Which statement summarizes the effects of the Works Progress Administration (WPA)?

Answer
A
The WPA brought international artists to the country.
B
The WPA made unemployment payments.
C
The WPA created jobs for the unemployed.
D
The WPA helped construct the national highway system.

Explanation

The Works Progress Administration was a New Deal program created during the Great Depression. It hired unemployed people for public projects, including building roads, schools, and parks, so the best summary is that the WPA created jobs for the unemployed. Unemployment payments were generally provided through a different program, and the national highway system was not the WPA’s main purpose.
