what was the main focus of the progressive movement in the late 1800s and early 1900s?

○ increasing industrial production

○ challenging social issues like poverty and discrimination

○ expanding westward territories

○ strengthening military powers

Explanation:

The Progressive Movement in the late 1800s and early 1900s aimed to address social and political problems. "Increasing industrial production" was more about industrialization trends, not the movement's focus. "Expanding westward territories" was part of earlier westward expansion, not the Progressive Era. "Strengthening military powers" was not a main focus. The movement focused on reforming issues like poverty, discrimination, political corruption, etc., so "Challenging social issues like poverty and discrimination" is correct.

Answer:

B. Challenging social issues like poverty and discrimination
