Praxis 5941 Practice Test Practice Question

The National Recovery Administration and the Public Works Administration were created as part of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal for which of the following purposes?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The National Recovery Administration (NRA) and the Public Works Administration (PWA) were integral to the New Deal, focusing on economic recovery through job creation and industrial regulation.

Option A is incorrect as the NRA and PWA did not primarily aim to bail out corporations or facilitate their overseas expansion. Option B misrepresents their purpose; while the New Deal did address disaster relief, it was not the main focus of these agencies. Option D is also inaccurate, as the NRA and PWA did not specifically target agricultural labor for prisoners or migrants, but rather aimed at broader industrial and infrastructure improvements to reduce unemployment.
