LBJ's Great Society included which welfare initiatives?

• A. Space program
• B. Food stamps and Welfare to Needy Families
• C. Public Education Initiative
• D. National Health Service

Answer: (B)

The Great Society aimed to reduce poverty and expand safety nets, bringing direct support to those in need. Food stamps created a federal nutrition program to help low‑income families buy food, a clear example of welfare assistance. The idea of helping “needy families” through cash or near-cash support also fits this goal, reflecting the era’s push to expand aid to families with dependent children. The other options don’t focus on welfare supports: the space program is about exploration, a broad education initiative is about schooling rather than welfare, and a national health service resembles a different country’s model rather than an American program.
