Why did Great Society educational and employment programs, such as the Jobs Corps and the Neighborhood Youth Corps, produce mixed results at best?
A) Both programs offered vocational training and jobs to urban youth, but most of the factory skills learned were obsolete, and the jobs were low paying.
B) Both programs offered strong opportunities for superior job-training and high-paying jobs, but few of the nation's urban youth took advantage of them.
C) Both programs, while offering strong opportunities for education and employment, caused resentment among urban community activists, who believed they had no input in mobilizing the resources provided.
D) While many of the nation's urban youth took advantage of the educational and employment opportunities offered by both programs, Congress cut off funding due to rising costs of fighting the Vietnam War.
