Answer:

A. Many thought it a waste of money and called it "Seward´s Folly".

Explanation:

The Alaska Purchase was the acquisition of 586,412 square miles of new territory to the United States by buying that territory to Russia.

The reaction to the purchase was mostly positive because many people believed that Alaska would serve as a base to expand American trade to Asia. Those against the purchase labeled it "Seward´s Folly" or "Seward´s Icebox" because they thought that the U.S. government had acquired useless land.

The text shown in the question above relates the hard life of the working class, which is a struggle that only comes to an end during death, as members of this class work from childhood to old age to maintain the capitalist system we know, which every day makes the working class more exploited. The text shows how workers struggle to have a comfortable life for themselves and their families.
