Question

which of the following was a goal of the progressives?
○ to increase manufacturing
○ to decrease land for farming
○ to grant women the right to vote
○ to limit government regulation

Explanation:

The Progressives (Progressive Era reformers) aimed at social and political reforms. Among the options: Increasing manufacturing was more of an industrialization goal, not specific to Progressives. Decreasing farm land was not a Progressive goal. Limiting government regulation was against Progressive ideas (they wanted more regulation for reform). Granting women the right to vote was a key Progressive goal (part of expanding democracy and social reform).

Answer:

C. to grant women the right to vote (assuming the options are labeled A - D with C being "to grant women the right to vote")
