C and D are easily eliminated; farmer life did not grow. It's been steadily shrinking since the 1700s. B sounds good initially, but people were moving to cities, where all the attainable jobs and payable rents were - most people couldn't afford to just buy a ton of land and start farming, and suburbs didn't really exist for the same reason.


2. What contributed to the social stratification that developed in the united states in the late nineteenth century?
A. Ethnicity and Race
B. Level of Education
C. The Tax Structure
D. Legislation
At a guess, I'd say A. The post civil war years were maximum racist. B gave me pause, yes, but that didn't really divide things, since most people had little or no education.


4. How did political machines contribute to urban political corruption?
A. By excepting bribes in exchange for favors.
B. By using force to obtain city contracts.
C. By encouraging only whites to vote.
D. By preventing blacks from obtaining housing.
Don't know, sorry.


5. What was Jane Addam's Hull House in Chicago an example of?
A. A settlement house opened to assist the urban poor.
B. An urban hotel for women only.
C. A skyscraper that changed the look of the city.
D. A political machine that operated to benefit immigrants.

This one is just straight up knowing the answer, no analysis. Sorry bruh.


7. What was not examined by the investigative journalists in the late nineteenth to early twentieth centuries?
A. Violations in the meat packing industries.
B. John D. Rockefeller's corrupt practices at standard oil.
C. Brutal working conditions in mines and on railroads.
D. Long hours required of sharecropping farmers.

Another straight up knowledge one.
A refers to The Jungle, a book, btw
