Answer 2

The statement that best describes the political cartoon of Teddy Roosevelt would be: A. Teddy hunted bad trusts as if they were adult bears.

What did Teddy do to the trusts

The political cartoon using the analogy of Teddy Roosevelt hunting "bad trusts" as if they were adult bears reflects the aggressive approach Roosevelt took towards monopolistic trusts during his presidency.

Roosevelt was known for his trust-busting activities aimed at regulating and breaking up large corporations that wielded monopolistic power and stifled competition.

The cartoon portrays him as a hunter targeting these powerful entities in the same way he might pursue bears in the wilderness, symbolizing his proactive and forceful actions against the trusts that threatened the American economy.
