Answer 1

During the first year of his presidency, Herbert Hoover primarily focused on dealing with the onset of the Great Depression. However, he did not significantly fund job creation programs nor did he regulate business practices related to the depression in a way that had immediate effects. Funding for the arts was not a priority, and targeted actions against organized crime were also not a central focus of his agenda at that time.

Therefore, the most accurate response would be that Hoover did not accomplish any of these specific achievements during the first year of his presidency. Instead, his administration’s initial responses were more about urging voluntary measures from businesses rather than executing direct government funding or regulation.

If the question asks for a specific statement to respond to, the best approach would be to clarify that his presidency's actions primarily focused on addressing the economic crisis rather than enacting any of the listed achievements severely.
