Answer 1

The correct response is: They contributed photographs and articles to magazines.

Muckrakers were investigative journalists who exposed corruption, social issues, and injustices in American society during the Progressive Era (early 20th century). They used their platform in magazines and newspapers to bring attention to these problems and call for reform. Their articles and photographs helped to raise public awareness and outrage, leading to demands for change and inspiring reform movements. While some muckrakers may have also been involved in activism or held government positions, their main influence came from their ability to expose and shed light on societal problems through their work in magazines and newspapers.
