5 racial equity
6 corruption
7 temperance

Explanation:

For racial equity, the government and Progressives might have tried to pass anti - discrimination laws and promote integration. However, systemic racism persisted due to lack of full enforcement and deeply - rooted prejudices. Regarding corruption, they could have established regulatory commissions and anti - graft laws, but political machines and bribery still occurred in some areas. In the case of temperance, they passed Prohibition laws to ban alcohol, yet illegal production and consumption (bootlegging) thrived. For women's rights, suffrage movements led to the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote, but gender - based economic and social inequalities remained.
