The correct statement regarding Mao's political and social policies in China is:

The Great Leap Forward was intended to boost the economy by quickly industrializing the country. The Cultural Revolution was meant to purge the nation of nonrevolutionary ideas.

The Great Leap Forward (1958-1962) aimed to rapidly transform China from an agrarian society into a socialist society through rapid industrialization and collectivization, ultimately leading to economic disaster. The Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) was a political movement initiated by Mao to maintain his control and ideologically cleanse the Communist Party and the society of capitalist and traditional elements, promoting the ideas of Maoism.
