Question

question 4 of 20
populists argued that services such as telephone and telegraph service:
a. were responsible for banking panics.
b. unfairly competed with existing businesses.
c. should be limited to urban areas.
d. should be made affordable to everyone.

Explanation:

Populists aimed to advocate for the common people. They believed essential services like telephone and telegraph should be accessible (affordable) to all, not just a privileged few. This aligns with their broader goal of promoting economic fairness and the well - being of the general public. Options A, B, and C do not reflect the Populist stance on these services. Banking panics were related to financial systems in a more general sense (not specifically these services), there's no indication of unfair competition as a main Populist argument here, and limiting to urban areas would go against the idea of widespread access which Populists likely supported.

Answer:

D. Should be made affordable to everyone.
