What was the campaign against the consumption of alcohol called?

• A. Prohibition era
• B. Temperance movement
• C. Civil rights movement
• D. Women's suffrage

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is knowing the name of the reform effort that sought to reduce or ban alcohol in the United States. The correct term is the Temperance movement. It began in the 19th century, driven by religious groups and social reformers who linked alcohol to social ills like poverty and domestic violence. Over time, the movement pushed for prohibition, which eventually led to laws banning alcohol in the U.S. in the Prohibition era (the period when the ban was in effect). But the question is asking for the campaign itself, not the period when it was enforced, so Temperance is the best fit. The other options refer to different movements or outcomes: the Civil rights movement focuses on racial equality, women's suffrage on voting rights for women, and the Prohibition era was the actual enforcement period, not the campaign.
