Answer: Although you have not provided a complete version of this multiple-choice question, I have been able to locate it.
They ask you: All of the following measures expanded democracy during the Progressive era EXCEPT:
a. the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution.
b. literacy tests and residency requirements.
c. the Seventeenth Amendment to the Constitution.
d. the use of primary elections among party members to select candidates.
e. the popular election of judges.
The correct answer is the b) literacy tests and residency requirements.
Explanation: Just to elaborate a little bit on the answer, it can be added that the so-called Progressive Era (1890 - 1920) in the United States was a period in which a series of social reforms were implemented in order to improve people's living conditions. Actions such as the Seventeenth Amendment to the Constitution, which established the popular election of United States senators by the people, or the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which granted women the right to vote, clearly expanded democracy during that period, as well as the use of primary elections among party members to select candidates, and the popular election of judges. Literacy tests and residency requirements did not.
