D.

Respuesta :

B - Improving workers' lives but leaving society's structure alone

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Improving workers' lives but leaving society's structure alone was a goal of Samuel Gompers, but not of socialists.

Explanation:

Samuel Gompers was an American labor leader. Resident of the United States since 1863, in 1881 he created a trade union association that in 1886 would adopt the name of the American Federation of Labor (AFL) of which he was president from 1886 until his death in 1924.

Although he had a socialist ideology, his reform was aimed at the working conditions of the workers and their rights, but not at a socialist restructuring of the capitalist system of the United States. That is, he did not propose a structural reform, as the Socialist Party did.
