The correct answer is William Booth. He was the founder of the Salvation Army and a preacher, not a journalist. The other three examples were indeed journalists and writers who were ¨muckrakers¨, a term used to describe journalists in the Progressive Area who were dedicated to exposing corruption in institutions or of different community leaders, businessman, politicians and the like.
