Answer

Brief Explanations:

The Progressive movement (late 19th - early 20th century) aimed to address issues like political corruption, poor working conditions, and social ills that arose during the Gilded Age (a time of economic growth but also social disparities). It was not about rolling back Populist reforms (Populists and Progressives had some overlapping goals like more democratic governance), limiting democratic reforms (it aimed to expand them, e.g., through direct primaries), or preventing business regulation (it supported things like antitrust laws and workplace regulations).

Answer:

an attempt to address the problems associated with the Gilded Age
