Answer:

selling goods

Step-by-step explanation:

Trusts were a type of business group in which people with particular business interests got together, creating a near monopoly in the industry. This resembled the modern idea of a corporation. Trusts often engaged in anticompetitive business practices, creating distrust among the public and profiting from these actions. Such behaviour led to the enactment of the Sherman Antitrust Act in 1890.
