The statements that describe how reformers fought for social change in the Progressive Era are:

4. They built thousands of new schools and required attendance.

2. They began a civil rights movement to promote equality between races.

5. They promoted abstinence from alcohol and supported prohibition.

Explanation:

The reasons behind these answers are that in the first place the progressist era was a time of change due to the abuse from business owners. Thus, they fought for racial equality because eugenics had very strong popularity among business owners, as well as the discrimination of women and minorities. They supported the prohibition, the vote of women, and the compulsory education for children because they were exposed to many typesof abuse in the factories.
