The correct answers are:

"Businesses eventually exploited the working class.": Led by their desire to be more profitable, business owners often abused workers in order to make the product more. "Workers who were injured on the job were not protected": Due to unexistent labor laws, business owners saw injured workers as surplus to workforce requirements and replaced them without any compensation or covering for their treatment. "There were vast inequalities between workers and owners.": Business owners wealth began growing exponentially throughout the years, as companies started gaining markets and reputation. However, workers income remained constant. "Big companies drove small companies out of business.": Unxistent regulators made it possible for big companies to buy small competitors, gaining more negotiation power and raising prices on their products.
