That's quite a lot of questions for one Brainly post! I won't aim to respond to each of those individual questions, but to the questions as a set.
All four thinkers referenced -- Hobbes, Locke, Montesquieu and Wollstonecraft -- were aiming to use reason and evidence to analyze issues in society and suggest solutions.
Hobbes, observing what he saw as the natural suspicion and competition human beings have of one another, suggested that establishing strong governmental authority is the only way to ensure stability and security for us to live together in society.
Locke had a more favorable view of human nature, and believed that if we acted reasonably we could together construct societies in which we respected one another's rights and worked to improve our mutual condition as a majority-governed body politic.
Montesquieu used his reason to research and analyze governments and set forth what governments he saw working best in which situations. The idea of "checks and balances" that we have in our American system was something he proposed (as the quoted text indicated).
Wollstonecraft applied principles of reason to the role of women and the rights for girls to be educated for active participation in society and civic life.
Best wishes to you as you work out your more specific answers to the whole array of questions you're working with on this assignment!

Answer:
B.) Reform efforts increased public participation in politics
Explanation:
The Progressive Era <em>(1890-1920)</em> refers to a period of United States history in which mass, novel political reformation and social advocacy occurred. With this era came reforms that covered sanitation, the environment, and most relating to this question: elections. Ultimately, the impact Progressive reformers had on the political process was most clearly visible in increased public participation in politics.
The most important election measures passed were recall, referendum, initiative, the secret ballot, and both the 17th and 19th amendment.
- Political recall enabled United States citizens the ability to call for the process of recall, in which elected officials could be potentially deposed through recall elections initiated by petition.
- Referendum enabled United States citizens the right to vote directly on proposed legislation in a state legislature.
- Initiative enabled United States citizens the ability to propose legislation to be heard in a state legislature.
- Secret ballots enabled United States citizens a right to privacy when casting their ballots.
- The 17th Amendment enabled United States citizens a right to directly vote for United States Senators in a system of a popular vote. Prior this this, United States Senators were elected by state legislatures.
- The 19th Amendment enabled women the right to vote.
All of the above measures are crucially responsible for a dramatic increase in the public's participation in politics.
Answer "A" is incorrect because suffrage expansion to racial minorities was not a movement at this time. The 15th amendment, allowing African-American men to vote, was passed in 1870. To strengthen the argument against this answer, the Progressives included little to no campaigns in regards to the barriers put in place to prevent African-Americans from voting, such as literacy tests and poll taxes.
Answer "C" is incorrect because the Progressive reform efforts did not restrict the power of the federal government, these efforts focused on empowering American citizens in politics, and this empowerment did not involve disempowering the federal government.
Answer "D" is incorrect as the two-party political system in the United States has predated the Progressive Era.
