How did the WPA support the arts in the 1930s?

Answer
A
by passing the Wagner Act
B
by establishing the Social Security Act
C
by establishing the Federal One program
D
by passing the National Industry Recovery Act

Explanation

The Works Progress Administration (WPA) created Federal One to employ artists and support cultural projects during the Great Depression. It included programs for theater, music, writing, and visual arts. The Social Security Act, National Industrial Recovery Act, and Wagner Act were separate New Deal laws, not WPA arts programs.
