Explanation:

Analyze the first question

The first question asks: "Labor organizers and leaders of the Social Gospel movement agreed about which of the following?"

• The Social Gospel movement was a Protestant Christian intellectual movement that was most prominent in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It applied Christian ethics to social problems, especially issues of social justice such as economic inequality, poverty, alcoholism, crime, racial tensions, slums, unclean environments, child labor, lack of unionization, poor schools, and the dangers of war.
• Labor organizers during the Gilded Age and Progressive Era fought to improve working conditions, secure fair wages, and protect vulnerable workers.
• Both groups strongly advocated for the protection of children and sought to end child labor through legislative reforms.
• Therefore, they agreed on the necessity of child labor laws.

Analyze the second question

The second question asks: "Which group strongly supported yellow-dog contracts?"

• A yellow-dog contract is an agreement between an employer and an employee in which the employee agrees, as a condition of employment, not to join a labor union.
• These contracts were used by employers to prevent the formation of unions and to maintain control over their workforce.
• Consequently, business owners strongly supported these contracts to suppress unionization and collective bargaining.
• Therefore, the group that supported them was business owners.
