Question

Choose only the CORRECT statements that describe efforts to reform society during the Progressive era. Jane Addams was the founder of the Hull house that offered services to immigrant families. Jacob Riis wrote "The Jungle" to expose the meatpacking industry. Muckrakers refers to investigative journalists who exposed society ills. Upton Sinclair's novel led to the creation of the Food and Drug administration and the Meat Inspection Act. Women were among the most powerful advocates for reforms. Hull house was the first prison to offer educational opportunities. Women advocated for reforms in the temperance movement, child labor laws and women's suffrage.

Answer 1

• Final answer:
• During the Progressive Era, Jane Addams founded Hull House, not a prison, providing services to immigrant families. Muckrakers like Upton Sinclair exposed industry ills leading to reforms such as the creation of the FDA, not Jacob Riis. Women played a significant role in social reforms, including the temperance movement and women's suffrage.
• Step-by-step explanation:
• The Progressive Era saw a significant push for social reform and an improvement in living conditions for various marginalized groups in society. Jane Addams was a pioneer in social welfare who founded the Hull House in Chicago, providing educational and social services to working-class women and their families. The Hull House was not a prison, but rather a settlement house for immigrant families, offering opportunities for education and support that influenced numerous progressive reforms, including child labor laws and women's suffrage.
• Muckrakers were investigative journalists who brought to light the social injustices of the time. Contrary to the statement in the question, it was not Jacob Riis who wrote "The Jungle" but Upton Sinclair, and his expose indeed led to important legislation like the Meat Inspection Act and the establishment of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The influence and activism of women during the Progressive Era extended well beyond settlement houses, as they also became powerful voices in the temperance movement and the fight for women's suffrage.
