The War on Poverty was the name given in the Johnson administration that focused on a set of bills and laws to reduce poverty in the US. In 1964, Johnson announced a series of laws were intended to provide tools and education to the poor in order to live in decent conditions and to get a job. Among the laws and acts passes to reduce poverty were: “Economic Opportunity Act”, “Job Corps” and “Head Start”. All these acts were part of the “Great Society” program launched by the Johnson administration. In this case, option C) is the correct one “concentrated on equipping the poor with skills and rebuilding their spirit and motivation.”

Option A) is incorrect since the War on Poverty program was introduced in Johnson’s administration and not on Nixon’s.  

Option B) is also incorrect since the Great Society program included the War on Poverty

Option D) is also incorrect since the objective of the acts and laws passed to reduce poverty were focused on providing training, education and tools to the poor.

Finally, option E) is also incorrect since the acts and laws passed were not focused on understanding economic changes but on providing tools for the poor people to get a better life.
