question 1-19
the excerpt below was written by jane addams who ran the hull house—a settlement house in chicago—in 1910.
which group fought to change the type of social problem described by addams?
\when the injury of one of the boys resulted in his death, we felt quite sure that
the owners of the factory would share our horror and remorse, and that they
would do everything possible to prevent the recurrence of such a tragedy. to our
surprise they did nothing whatever, and i made my first acquaintance then with
those pathetic documents signed by the parents of working children, that they will
make no claim for damages resulting from carelessness.\
—jane addams, twenty years at hull-house, 1910
○ populists
○ suffragists
○ abolitionists
○ progressives

Explanation:

El problema trata sobre identificar el grupo que luchó por cambiar el problema social descrito por Jane Addams (trabajo infantil, condiciones de trabajo). Los progresistas (progressives) trabajaron por reformas sociales, incluyendo mejoras en condiciones laborales y protección de trabajadores, incluyendo niños. Los populistas se centraron en agricultores, sufragistas en derecho al voto de mujeres, abolicionistas en fin de esclavitud. Así, los progresistas son los que encajan.

Answer:

D. progressives
