Explanation:

• "No man can be a good citizen unless he has a wage more than sufficient to cover the bare cost of living." - This idea relates to Roosevelt's views on labor and fair wages, as he was progressive in advocating for workers' rights.
• "Roosevelt believed there were 'good' and 'bad' corporations." - Theodore Roosevelt was known for his trust - busting and his view that corporations should be regulated, and he distinguished between those that operated ethically (good) and those that engaged in monopolistic or unethical practices (bad).
• "Roosevelt became the youngest man elected as U.S. president." - Theodore Roosevelt became the youngest man to assume the presidency after McKinley's assassination, and later, when he was elected in his own right, he was still relatively young, and this is a factual statement about him.

The statement "I am a firm believer that great wealth should be used to attain great power for the benefit of large corporations." is incorrect as Roosevelt was not in favor of wealth being used to benefit large corporations at the expense of the public; he was more about regulating corporations for the public good.
