The Works Progress Administration (WPA) was formed in 1935 during the height of the Great
Depression as part of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal package to bring the
economy around and provide relief for the millions of unemployed throughout the country; the goal
of the program was to maintain peoples' skills and respect by providing work to as many as possible
during this period of massive unemployment. For the eight years that the WPA was in existence
from 1935 to 1943, the WPA was responsible for providing jobs to approximately eight million
people at a cost of more than eleven billion dollars.
One of the more controversial programs of the WPA was the Federal Arts Project, a program to
employ artists full-time at such tasks as painting murals in libraries, theaters, train stations, and
airports; teaching various techniques of art; and preparing a comprehensive study of American
crafts. Criticism of the program centered on what was perceived as the frivolity of supporting the
arts at a time when millions were starving, industry was sagging, farms were barren, and all that
could flourish were bankruptcy courts and soup kitchens.

A. disputed B. successful	 C. creative D. comprehensive
57. All the following probably helped to make the Federal Arts Project controversial EXCEPT that
A. the Federal Arts Project employed many who would otherwise have been out of work
B. train stations and airports were decorated with murals
C. the Federal Arts Project commissioned art works
D. a tremendous study of American crafts was produced
58. The expression "centered on"  could best be replaced by
A. encircled B. located on	 C. focused on D. surrounded
59. When the author states that "... all that could flourish were bankruptcy courts and soup
