Answer:

The correct answer is C. The "Progressive Amendment" that made the federal government more democratic was the 17th Amendment, that provided for the direct election of senators.

Explanation:

The Seventeenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States establishes the direct election of the United States Senate by popular vote. The amendment replaces Article I, Section 3, Clauses 1 and 2 of the constitution, under which the Senate was elected by the State Legislatures. It also alters the method of filling vacancies in the Senate, to be consistent with the method of choice. It was adopted in April 1913 and contributed to the democratic strengthening of the country, by granting more electoral rights to its citizens.

I believe 1 and 4 are incorrect. 4 is quite ridiculous, England won the war and had no reason whatsoever to cede colonies to the Germans. 1 is debatable, but the general consensus is that the Americans joined less to fight the "enemy over there" but rather because they felt threatened by Germany's potential alliance with a powerful Mexico and because of Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare. That said, one could argue that 1, in this case, is correct. 

I believe 2 and 3 are correct. The United States did join the League of Nations after the war to prevent another conflict and promote peace (that didn't work too well). The League of Nations of the past could be compared to the United Nations of today. The American troops that arrived in Europe in the year of 1918 did indeed help stem the German advance. At some points arriving at a rate of 10 000 a day, the fresh American troops pretty much were able to swarm the war-weary Germans and kill more than the Germans could replace.
