Answer 1

The reasons that led to the origination of the Progressive movement include:

• passage of antitrust laws and regulations
• renewed interest in regulating big business
• rising social problems caused by rapid growth in cities

The option "significant decrease in the American population" is not accurate; the Progressive movement was largely a response to the challenges posed by rapid urbanization and industrialization rather than a decrease in population.
