The Civilian Conservation Corp or CCC was an organization created during the Great Depression as part of the New Deal. What kind of work did people do as part of the CCC?

Question

creating cheap hydroelectricity

maintaining state and national forests

building roads, bridges, and dams

constructing schools and libraries

Answer 1

Well, you should really just look this up, if not in your textbook, then online. But since you're asking, how about if I flip it back around?

It's the Civilian *Conservation* Corps, and the four options all start with gerunds. So which of those words--creating, maintaining, building, constructing--means more or less the same thing as conservation or conserving?
