a. People became too materialistic.

c. The economic system didn't work well.

d. The government system adjusted to change too slowly.

Explanation:

The American society faced many difficulties in the late 1800s as they were weak in various aspects. The resources they had was huge but it was not used conservatively, rather it was considered to be neglected at times. The economic system didn't work well as the production was not balanced.

The rich were becoming even more rich and the poor became poorer. President Roosevelt and Wilson broke these monopolies. They were so aggressive that Roosevelt earned the name "Trust Buster"
