The correct answer is C) writers who expose corruption perform a vital service to America.

<em>According to the quote, the statement that best describes Roosevelt’s view in journalism is that writers who expose corruption perform a vital service to America. </em>

In the excerpt, Roosevelt explains it this way: “There is filth on the floor…”, meaning that there is corruption in some areas of the government. “And there are times and places where these services are the most needed...”, meaning that exposing corruption by the media is a necessary service that journalists do.

Roosevelt continues: “The men with the muck rakes are often indispensable to the well being of society”, meaning that journalist that expose corruption cases are necessary to have a transparent government that citizens can be proud of.

The term muckraker, coined by Roosevelt identifies the journalist that exposed and attacked corruption cases in businesses or corrupt leaders.

What were the effects of the consumer revolution on the colonies?
Soloha48 [4]

The Consumer revolution changed society deeply because traditionally people used to spend money on farmland, houses, herds, and laborers. After the Consumer Revolution, people started to spend money on goods such as teapots, books, forks.

This changed society in the 13 colonies because people that could afford those luxury items before were only rich people, but mechanization, the factory system, made goods less expensive than before and lower social ranks were able to afford them. Now, other social ranks were able to afford goods that they could not before, ordinary men and women began to demand consumer goods that indicated their status.
