Immigration


Industrialization


Imperialism


Urbanization

Answer 1

The Progressive Era was primarily a response to the growth of:

- **Immigration**: The influx of immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries raised various social, economic, and political issues that progressives sought to address.

- **Industrialization**: The rapid industrial growth led to poor working conditions, economic inequality, and labor unrest, prompting many progressives to advocate for reforms.

- **Urbanization**: The movement of people into cities created challenges such as overcrowded housing, sanitation issues, and the need for municipal reforms, which progressives aimed to tackle.

While **imperialism** was a significant issue during the Progressive Era, it was not a direct response to domestic conditions like immigration, industrialization, and urbanization. Instead, it was more related to foreign policy debates and imperial expansion.

So, the correct responses are:
- Immigration
- Industrialization
- Urbanization
