I'm still checking your answers -- but so far I've found 1, 2, 4 and 6 are correct. However, please check 3 and 5.
I'll post more corrections soon.
Numbers 7 - 12 appear to be correct.
Stay tuned . . .
I think two of the last four answers may be wrong. Check these sites.

Thank you so much Sue. It is so great to have this type of help.
To check your answers, let's review each initiative and its corresponding president.
1. Head Start - J (Correct)
2. Peace Corps - K (Correct)
3. Job Corps - B (Incorrect)
To determine if Job Corps was an initiative only within Kennedy's New Frontier (K), proposed by both presidents (B), or an initiative only within Johnson's Great Society (J), we need to gather more information on when it was introduced.
The Job Corps was actually a program created under President Johnson's administration as part of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964. Therefore, the correct answer for Job Corps is J, not K.
Let's continue checking the remaining answers.
