question 6
what were the progressive reformers working towards in
the early twentieth century?

limiting the federal governments involvement in social
issues

limiting health care to the private sector

increasing the number of big businesses and trusts

involving government in regulating social, economic, and
political problems

Explanation:

Progressive reformers in the early 20th century aimed to address social, economic, and political issues. They believed in using government intervention to regulate big business, improve social welfare, and promote fairness. The option "Limiting the federal government's involvement in social issues" is incorrect as Progressives wanted more government action. "Limiting health care to the private sector" is also incorrect as they supported broader social welfare (including health - related reforms in some cases). "Increasing the number of big businesses and trusts" is wrong because they sought to regulate or break up monopolistic trusts. The correct option is "Involving government in regulating social, economic, and political problems" as it aligns with Progressive goals of using government to address societal ills.

Answer:

D. Involving government in regulating social, economic, and political problems
