he correct answer is D) Mark Twain, describing the Gilded Age.

America lived by the motto "Get rich; dishonestly if we can, honestly if we must," according to Mark Twain, describing the Gilded Age.

American writer Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner wrote the novel "The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today" in 1873. It is a satire of the political corruption practices in the government of the United States after the Civil War. In the book, the authors came up with the phrase "Get rich; dishonestly if we can, honestly if we must." American society at that time was part of the corrupt practices of the government. As the phrase implied,  the idea of getting rich at whatever cost, legally or illegally,  was dominant in those years.
