Answer 1

B. Artists were hired for posters, murals, and other commissions.

The U.S. government promoted artistic expression during the New Deal through various programs, particularly through the Federal Art Project, which was part of the Works Progress Administration (WPA). This program provided jobs for artists who created murals, posters, sculptures, and other artworks that were often used to promote government programs or beautify public spaces.
