Question

which three conditions did the progressive movement work to improve?

lack of representation for women in politics

lack of opportunities for business owners

shortages of unskilled laborers

corruption in all levels of government

children working long hours in factories

Explanation:

The Progressive movement aimed to address social and political issues. 1. "Lack of representation for women in politics" - Progressives supported women's suffrage to increase political representation. 2. "Corruption in all levels of government" - They pushed for political reforms to reduce corruption (e.g., direct primaries, initiative, referendum, recall). 3. "Children working long hours in factories" - Progressives advocated for child labor laws to end exploitative child labor. The other options: "lack of opportunities for business owners" was not a focus (they regulated big business, not help business owners expand), and "shortages of unskilled laborers" was not an issue they worked on.

Answer:

A. lack of representation for women in politics, D. corruption in all levels of government, E. children working long hours in factories
