Which act passed in 2021 invests in infrastructure, including roads, bridges, transit, water, and broadband?

• A. CHIPS and Science Act
• B. Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
• C. Medicare Part D Act
• D. Every Student Succeeds Act

Answer: (B)

This question is testing your knowledge of a major 2021 law that funds broad physical infrastructure. The act that matches roads, bridges, transit, water systems, and broadband is the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Signed into law in 2021, it’s a large bipartisan package—about $1.2 trillion—designed to modernize transportation networks, upgrade clean water and wastewater infrastructure, and expand high‑speed internet access across the country. Its focus is clearly on physical infrastructure and resilience across multiple sectors. The other options don’t fit the infrastructure focus: the CHIPS and Science Act centers on semiconductor research and manufacturing; the Every Student Succeeds Act deals with education policies; and the Medicare Part D framework is health care related, not about building or upgrading infrastructure.
