Answer 1

The correct statement about the election of 1912 is: The Republican Party did not nominate Roosevelt because he was too progressive.

In the 1912 election, Theodore Roosevelt ran as a third-party candidate for the Progressive Party (often called the "Bull Moose Party") after losing the Republican nomination to incumbent President William Howard Taft. This split in the Republican vote contributed to the victory of the Democratic candidate, Woodrow Wilson.
