So because that being stated the answer is, C. World War l.

Answer 2

The correct answer to this question is C: World War I.

The Brook Farm was a utopic socialist experiment made in the 1800s in Massachussets where a community would sustain itself in a farming terrain for a period of time. Education and labor would be envolved to maintain balance and prosperity. This is therefore a result of socialist ideas.

Labor Unions were also a result of socialist ideas. The unions fight for the workers' rights in order to keep a more peaceful and happy community in the society by keeping the workers satisfied. These ideas come from socialism.

Finally, the progressive era refers to a period in 1890s to the 1920s in which social activism and political reforms were widely spread across the country to fight problems caused by industrialization such as urbanization, immigration, heavy corruption and workers abuse, etc. Therefore we can say that these ideas were mainly based on socialism.

Involvement in World War I, on the contrary, was a merely political and economical decision that had nothing to do with socialism.
