Answer: the answers are all of them- big business, women's suffrage, working conditions, and educational reform

Step-by-step explanation:

The Progressive Movement emerged in the 1890s and continued until the 1920s as a response to the political, socials and economic injustices that came with the U.S. Industrial Revolution.

Progressives consistently worked to make social and political reforms that improved society. They aimed to expose corruption in both government and big business, regulate the private industry, protect workers and consumer's rights, improve working conditions, protect people's right of press and protest, increase the number of schools and improve the quality of public education, promote women's right to vote and active participation in community affairs like public health and dealt with alcohol issues, among others.

The correct options are: "2women's suffrage 3working conditions 4educational reform"

Progressivism is a political tendency (not a defined ideology) where ideas considered "advanced" are defended, especially those oriented towards the development of a welfare state, the defense of civil rights and a certain redistribution of wealth. It is commonly considered that these currents agglutinate forces opposed to conservatism. In progressivism as a political subspectrum converge diverse philosophical, ethical and economic doctrines of liberalism and democratic socialism.

Although the term has precedents of the French Revolution, when politically it was synonymous with reformism, progressivism, as a political tendency, took shape as a political tendency of the contemporary struggles for the civil and political rights that gave life to social movements such as feminism, environmentalism, secularism and sexodiversity, among others; and is strongly influenced by pragmatism
