    Correct Answer
    urban/rural

    The Progressive Movement's strongest supporters were in urban parts of the United States, while the Populists were strongest in rural areas. The Progressive Movement aimed to address social and political issues in urban areas, such as corruption, poverty, and inequality. They advocated for reforms in areas like labor rights, women's suffrage, and public health. On the other hand, the Populists primarily represented the interests of farmers and rural communities, focusing on economic issues such as agricultural policies, currency reform, and the regulation of big business. This divide between urban and rural support reflects the different priorities and concerns of these two movements.

    A. Direct primaries; initiatives; referendums; recalls; direct election of senators
    Explanation
    The achievements of the Progressives included the implementation of direct primaries, initiatives, referendums, recalls, and the direct election of senators. These reforms aimed to increase the participation of citizens in the political process and reduce the influence of political machines and corrupt practices. Direct primaries allowed voters to directly choose their party's candidates, while initiatives and referendums gave citizens the power to propose and vote on laws. Recalls provided a mechanism for removing elected officials from office if they were deemed unfit. Finally, the direct election of senators ensured that senators were chosen by the people rather than state legislatures.
