Answer 1

Private Relief Agencies:

• Supported volunteerism and other indirect relief efforts
• Distributed free food to those in need

State Governments:

• Organized public construction projects

Federal Government:

• Organized public construction projects (also applicable here, depending on specific programs initiated at the federal level during the New Deal)

This setup distinguishes the role of each entity during the Great Depression, with private agencies focusing on volunteerism and immediate relief, whereas state governments began to engage more in organized public works. Federal efforts were primarily structured around larger scale initiatives to recover from the economic downturn.
