the Gilded Age

Reconstruction

the Progressive Era

machine politics

Answer 1

"The Progressive Era (1890 - 1920) Progressivism is the term applied to a variety of responses to the economic and social problems rapid industrialization introduced to America. Progressivism began as a social movement and grew into a political movement. The early progressives rejected Social Darwinism." That should answer your question!

Answer 2

It is not reconstruction, because that was after the civil war and involved letting the southern states back into the union. It is not D, because it is a type of politics and doesn't have anything to do with reform. It is not the Gilded Age, because that was in the 1800's and involved social issues, but no reform.
