The correct answer is B) the examination system for filling new government jobs.

Reformers reacted to the widespread corruption of the Gilded Age by opposing the examination system for filling new government jobs.

The Gilded Age represented a time in United State politics that were full of corruption activities. Presidents gave offices to "friends" or supporters that had supported them during the campaign. This received the name of "spoils system."

In 1881, after the assassination of President James Garfield, the Pendleton Civil Service Act prohibited any kind of patronage and to end with those corruptive practices. This is when the Civil Service Commission came into existence.

there is no image for me to refer

here are some major conflicts i found. maybe pick one and do more research on it. (cause i ain't writing 6 paragraphs)

in 1877, the nez perce war took place.

1881 - president james garfield was assassinated.

1882 - the chinese exclusion act was passed.

1883 - a decision in the civil rights cases legalized racial segregation in the united states.

1887 - the dawes act was passed.

1893 - the panic of 1893 took place. (what a creative name)

and there are probably other topics you can find if you just search up "united states timeline," or "conflicts in the 19th century for america."

then once you find a topic you like find out how it affected the people of america and what not. (sorry if this feels a bit short changed, history was and never will be one of my strong topics)
