Answer
A
It increased taxes on the poorest Americans.
B
It expanded the role of government.
C
It reduced protections for unions and workers.
D
It did little to alleviate unemployment.

Explanation

Many critics opposed the New Deal because it expanded the federal government’s role in the economy and people’s lives. Others argued that, despite its programs, it did not do enough to end unemployment, which remained high during the 1930s. The New Deal generally strengthened protections for unions and workers, and it did not increase taxes specifically on the poorest Americans.
