Question 12 • AVAHS 26-27 CCPS SS US History Gr 11 (45.0810000) YL IC (Fall)

What did the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and the Public Works Administration (PWA) have in common?

Answer
A
They both focused on reforestation and land restoration.
B
They were both government-run construction programs.
C
They both provided government support for labor unions.
D
They were created to provide electricity in rural areas.

Explanation

Both the TVA and the PWA were New Deal programs that used government funding and administration to build public infrastructure. The TVA built dams and power facilities, while the PWA funded projects such as roads, schools, and bridges. Reforestation was more closely associated with the Civilian Conservation Corps, and rural electrification was a key TVA goal rather than a shared purpose.
