land reform

democracy

business regulation

social justice

The best answer from the choices given, to the question: Which of the following was not a key area of focus for the Progressives, would be: Land reform.

Explanation:

Progressivism was characterized for being a movement that appeared between the 1890's and the 1920's and it sought to fight off the negative effects of industrialization, urbanization, immigration and corruption. Their focus, more than anything, was to bring a much fairer system, to focus on those issues that socially were affecting Americans, more than anything else. As such, the one issue on which they did not focus, at all, was land reform. They were concerned with regulation of monopolies, justice, the establishment of a more direct democracy, and the institution of social justice, but not land reform.
