Question

1 How did prominent figures of the Gilded Age, such as Andrew Carnegie, both support and challenge the social order of the time?

Answer 1

The correct option is A. The gilded age refers to the years of industrial revolution, when there was a boom of economic growth in the United States of America. The economic growth greatly increased the gap between the rich and the poor and during that time, there was high level of political corruption in the country. The government was not sympathetic to the cause of the poor at all and it makes no efforts to control the excesses of the rich.
