A) The rise of large firms (e.g., Standard Oil) in the late 1800s in the United States caused consumers to lose trust in private business.
B) "Trust" was a word in Old English that meant monopoly in the Middle Ages. Therefore, "antitrust" is a term that means "against monopoly."
C) In the late 1800s, firms in several industries formed trusts; the firms were independent but gave voting control to a board of trustees. Antitrust laws were passed to regulate these trusts.
D) In the late 1800s, firms in several industries formed trusts; they were called "trusts" because when corporate officials were questioned about their business they would clam that business was good for the country and that they should trusted.
