Answer 1

The correct answers are:

The government should regulate businesses.

Regulation helps consumers.

Monopolies succeed because they have an unfair advantage.

Explanation: The Progressive Movement took place between the 1880s and the 1920s with the aim of eliminating negative consequences of the industrialization process in the US. Both political organisms and monopolies were targeted. The latter ones prevented competition and were harmful for consumers who were forced to buy worse quality products at higher prices. This is the origin of antitrust regulations and of the interference of public powers in the regulation of private businesses.
