Which of the following was true of William Howard Taft? (1 point) Responses Taft supported suffrage for women. Taft supported suffrage for women. Taft was more popular than Roosevelt. Taft was more popular than Roosevelt. Taft broke twice as many trusts as Roosevelt. Taft broke twice as many trusts as Roosevelt. Taft advocated for higher tariffs to improve trade.

Answer 1

Of the statements provided, the most accurate is that Taft broke twice as many trusts as Roosevelt.

William Howard Taft, who served as president from 1909 to 1913, was known for his aggressive trust-busting policies and brought more anti-trust lawsuits than his predecessor Theodore Roosevelt. The other statements are less accurate: while Taft expressed some support for women's suffrage, he did not actively champion it to the same extent as some of his contemporaries. He was generally less popular than Roosevelt, and while Taft did advocate for certain tariffs, his overall tariff policies, such as the Payne-Aldrich Tariff, were contentious and did not always support higher tariffs.

So, the statement about trust-busting is the one that fits best with historical facts.
