Question

what did some businesses do to make sure the government did not get involved with their industries? a. they encouraged their workers to vote for politicians they supported. b. they promised to regulate their practices. c. they secretly gave money to members of congress. d. they paid their workers more.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Encouraging workers to vote for supported politicians is a way to influence government decisions to avoid unwanted involvement.
• Option B: Promising self - regulation doesn't directly prevent government involvement as the government could still step in if they don't trust the self - regulation.
• Option C: Secretly giving money to Congress members is illegal (bribery) and not a common or legitimate way businesses would operate to avoid government involvement in a general sense.
• Option D: Paying workers more doesn't relate to preventing government involvement in the industry.

So, the most logical action for businesses to avoid government involvement is to influence the political landscape by getting workers to vote for politicians they support.

Answer:

A. They encouraged their workers to vote for politicians they supported.
