Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

While there are many things that contributed to lifting the elderly out of poverty, it was probably the events of the Great Depression that spurred the most action. Many Americans saw, for the first time, the effects of a society with no infrastructure for caring for elderly people who could no longer work and felt it unfair that they should suffer after a lifetime of hard work. Institutions like modern pension plans, Social Security and Medicare took hold during this era.
