The International Cotton Expositions held in Atlanta during the New South era helped Georgia by showcasing the state’s

and attracting

Answer 1

The first choice ("industrial progress") is correct. The second should be "investors" (often "northern investors" or "capital").

Correct sentence:
The International Cotton Expositions held in Atlanta during the New South era helped Georgia by showcasing the state’s industrial progress and attracting northern investors to promote economic growth.

Reason: the expositions were designed to draw outside capital and industry (not primarily political leaders) to spur industrialization in the post‑Reconstruction South.
