Answer:

The correct answer is C. Five Forks was such an important strategic position for Lee and his army because it was the last escape route from Richmond.

Explanation:

The Battle of Five Forks marked the collapse of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. Lee's forces were fighting a trench war since the end of 1864 defending the vital points of Petersburg and Richmond. The Confederate Army was completely demoralized, with hardly any supplies, and diseases caused serious havoc among its ranks, as well as great defections. Lee had his forces entrenched between Richmond and Petersburg, with a single rail line open to the west whose defense was maintained by the Pickett Division in Five Forks west of Petersburg at its most extreme line.

The correct answer is D, that to encourage people to take action against widespread corruption

The "Muckrakers" were crusading journalists, authors and photographers who published their work in order to raise awareness on social issues and injustice. Other muckrakers highlighted the deficiencies in the political system. Their newspapers, articles and photographs led to the formation of influence groups sparking a series of reforms during the Progressive Era (1890 - 1920). Raising awareness of social injustice, corruption and inequality and the abuse of political power was their main goal in order to bring about the reform.
