Answer

Brief Explanations:

During the Great Depression, President Roosevelt's bank holiday was part of the Emergency Banking Act. The goal was to close banks temporarily so the government could assess their financial stability (verify if they were strong enough to reopen and restore public confidence in the banking system). The other options are incorrect: bank employees' time off was not the purpose, fireside chats were for communication (not related to the bank holiday's purpose), and construction projects were part of the New Deal but not tied to the bank holiday.

Answer:

B. give the government time to verify that banks were strong.
