Which of the following best describes the main way that upton sinclair gathered research for the jungle?
he hired investigators to spy on activities in a meat-packing plant.
he spent two years doing research in libraries all over america.
he went undercover as a worker in a meat-packing plant.
he interviewed experts in the meat-packing industry.

the correct answer is c.

upton sinclair was an american journalist and the author of 'the jungle", a controversial book about existing working conditions in a meat-packing company in chicago. the novel was written in 1904 and its primary purpose was to advocate socialism in the usa, thus concentrating on the unfair and harsh treatment of many immigrants as a capitalist way of exploiting poor, working-class people.

as a journalist, sinclair exposed corruption in politics and business. gathering information for 'the jungle', he spent seven years working incognito in one of chicago's meat packing plants. however, contrary to many statements, he did not go undercover as a meat packer. his deception was to carry a dinner pail through the packinghouse, escorted by workers, so that he looked liked he belonged.

the reform movements that arose during the antebellum period in america focused on specific issues: temperance, abolishing imprisonment for debt, pacifism, antislavery, abolishing capital punishment, amelioration of prison conditions (with prison's purpose reconceived as rehabilitation rather than punishment), the humane treatment of animals, the humane and just treatment of native americans, the establishment of public institutions for the care of the destitute, orphans, blind, and mentally ill, the establishment of public schools, the abolition of tobacco use, vegetarianism, health reform, homeopathic medicine, woman's rights (including, at first, especially the establishment of a woman's right to own property apart from her husband and her right to sue for divorce), and the amelioration of labor conditions (including higher pay, the right to form unions, the right to strike, and the demand for limits on the number of work hours, and safe working conditions).
