Thanks for the question!


In the Gilded Age,  cartoons expressed important commentary on the major economic, political, and social issues of the day. Cartoon artists employed symbolism, exaggeration, labeling, analogy, and irony to express their viewpoint.

Hope it helps!!

Answer 2

One of the major problems which express the issues of the Gilded Age is the government corruption.

The government officials were often bribed and the jobs were given to their friends and relatives rather the qualified candidates.

However, it was later decided that the candidates need to qualify civil service exam for obtaining government jobs.
