Answer 1

C, provide bonus checks to all American citizens, paid for by the Federal Treasury.

Answer 2

The answer is: D) provide some federal help to bankers, but leave relief for the poor to private charities.

The federal help was given to bankers because Herbert Hoover feared that if He let the bank went bankrupt, many other businesses woyuld be forced to closed down to since they're relied on the bank to obtain their capital injection. Letting the businesses closed down would resulted in massive unemployment problems.

Relief for poor private charities  is made in order to help those who failed to find a way to obtain an income so they can survive through the depression period.
