which phrase characterizes u.s. policy toward latin america during the progressive era?
o a friendly and trusting
b tolerant and humanitarian
o c indifferent and uninvolved
d paternalistic and interventionist

Explanation:

During the Progressive Era, the U.S. often took on a paternalistic (acting as a father figure, thinking it knew what was best) and interventionist (interfering in the affairs of Latin American countries) approach. This was seen in actions like the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, which justified U.S. intervention in Latin America. Options a (friendly and trusting) is incorrect as there was more control - oriented behavior. Option b (tolerant and humanitarian) doesn't fit the interventionist actions. Option c (indifferent and uninvolved) is wrong because the U.S. was quite involved.

Answer:

d. paternalistic and interventionist
