The federal government allowed monopolies to operate freely during the Gilded Age because of the belief that monopolies would tr
eat their laborers well. monopolies would keep competition alive. monopolies were helping the economy grow. monopolies were the best way to make a profit.

The second statement is incorrect as monopolies do not increase competition. Rather, they decrease competition by buying other companies and businesses. This decreases the amount of business within their market.
