Johnson's Great Society

Question 9 • RMA FL-2100310-United States History Semester 2

Which statement best summarizes the result of the Great Society programs?

Answer
A
The majority of the programs were expensive failures.
B
The majority of the programs changed society for the better.
C
Some programs succeeded, but others failed to achieve results.
D
Most of the programs had been discontinued by the early 1970s.

Explanation

The Great Society programs had mixed results: some, such as Medicare and Medicaid, provided lasting benefits, while others did not achieve all their goals or had limited effects. So the best summary is that some programs succeeded, but others failed to achieve results. The choices claiming that most programs were failures, transformed society for the better, or had been discontinued are too sweeping.
