true
false

Explanation:

Analyze the Gold Standard Act of 1900

The Gold Standard Act, passed in 1900 under President William McKinley, established gold as the sole basis for redeeming paper currency in the United States. It declared the gold dollar as the standard unit of value, meaning all paper money ("greenbacks" and other currency) was officially backed by gold. This directly matches the second option.

Identify the Gilded Age social ideology

The description refers to a pseudoscience that applied Charles Darwin's evolutionary theories of natural selection and "survival of the fittest" to human societies. This ideology, known as Social Darwinism, was widely used during the late 19th and early 20th centuries to justify imperialism, racial discrimination, and the vast wealth inequalities of the Gilded Age. This matches the third option.

Evaluate the definitions of integration

The statement defines vertical integration as merging with competitors in the same industry, and horizontal integration as controlling multiple stages of production. In Gilded Age Economics, these definitions are reversed: horizontal integration is merging with competitors (e.g., Rockefeller's oil refineries), while vertical integration is controlling the entire supply chain from raw materials to distribution (e.g., Carnegie's steel). Therefore, the statement is false.
