d

Answer 2

The simplest answer is that farmers faced declining prices. Better students will point to causal factors such as overproduction and monopolies. Most students will see individual parts of the farmers' strategies: building cooperatives and lobbying for government help. But the best students will put these developments in a larger context. Farmers challenged several prevailing assumptions. They rejected assumptions about the nature of money and pushed for greenbacks. They rejected the assumption of competition and built cooperatives. They rejected the assumptions of party loyalty and built the Granger and Populist parties. The best students will see the inherently radical nature of farmers' activities.
