Answer
A
Poverty and hunger persisted despite the New Deal.
B
Many workers’ organizations opposed the New Deal.
C
The New Deal led to higher amounts of government debt.
D
The New Deal increased the power of the executive branch.

Explanation

A counterclaim should challenge the assertion that the New Deal provided relief from the Great Depression. The fact that poverty and hunger persisted despite the New Deal directly suggests that its relief was incomplete. The other choices focus on opposition, government debt, or executive power rather than whether Americans received relief.
