Answer 1

Benjamin Harrison's administration addressed the following issue:

• Veterans received pensions and benefits.

The other issues listed (women's suffrage, child labor laws, and business monopolies) were not primary focuses of Harrison's administration. Women's suffrage did not achieve the right to vote until 1920 with the 19th Amendment, and while there were some efforts against monopolies, the more significant actions in breaking up business monopolies came later with the administrations of Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. Child labor laws did not significantly change until later in the Progressive Era.
