alleviating the problems of poverty.
regulating business in order to restore economic competition.
making business more efficient and profitable.
eliminating racial inequality in the united states.

Explanation:

• Question 6: The Farmers' Alliance was a late - 19th - century agrarian movement. Farmers' cooperatives were a key initial proposal. Cooperatives would help farmers pool resources, reduce costs (e.g., for purchasing supplies, marketing), and gain more bargaining power. Artificially inflating food prices was not a mainstream initial proposal. Government payments to farmers were not the first - line solution proposed by the Alliance. Training farmers for different work was not the core economic solution focus.
• Question 7: Progressives in the early 1900s focused on alleviating poverty (e.g., through social welfare reforms), regulating business (e.g., antitrust laws to restore competition), and making business more efficient (e.g., scientific management in some cases). Eliminating racial inequality was not a central reform sought by the mainstream Progressive movement at that time. The Progressive movement was more focused on urban - industrial and middle - class issues rather than racial equality, which was a more marginalized concern within the movement.

Answer:

• Question 6: farmers' cooperatives.
• Question 7: Eliminating racial inequality in the United States.
