question 11 (1 point)

o b railroads regulations
o c both
o d neither

Explanation:

• Question 8: The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire had multiple contributing factors. Doors were locked to prevent workers from taking unauthorized breaks. Communication was inefficient as there was no proper alarm or evacuation plan. Elevators broke down, and firefighter ladders couldn't reach the upper floors (the factory was on the 8th - 10th floors of a building). So all of the options (a - d) are correct.
• Question 9: Ida Bell Wells - Barnett was a prominent African - American journalist, activist, and researcher. She was a leader in the anti - lynching movement, not the temperance movement.
• Question 10: Welfare laws in the Progressive Era were more focused on mothers (maternalist reforms) rather than fathers. For example, the Mothers' Pensions.
• Question 11: Theodore Roosevelt's "Square Deal" included regulations for pure food and drugs (like the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906) and railroad regulations (such as the Hepburn Act which regulated railroad rates).

Answer:

• Question 8: E. all of the above
• Question 9: False
• Question 10: False
• Question 11: C. both
