Question

which of the following is the best definition of a muckraker? (1 point) a woman protesting for the right to vote an investigative journalist exposing corruption a civil rights leader working toward racial equality an industry leader fighting against progressive reforms

Explanation:

Muckrakers were journalists in the Progressive Era (early 20th century) who exposed social ills, political corruption, and corporate abuses. Their work aimed to bring about reform. A woman protesting for the right to vote would be a suffragette. A civil - rights leader working toward racial equality is focused on a different social issue (racial justice rather than general corruption exposure). An industry leader fighting against progressive reforms is on the opposite side of the muckrakers' goals.

Answer:

an investigative journalist exposing corruption
