The correct answer is C) Focused on the wrteched conditions of New York City Slums.

Jacob Riis's famous book <em>How the Other Half Lives</em> was written during the Gilded Age. This era in American history saw America grow as a capitalist country producing more goods than any other country in the world. Along with this, there was a growing gap between the richest and poorest Americans during this time.

Riis wanted to expose this problem through his book. In <em>How the Other Half Lives, </em>Riis exposes the unsanitary and unsafe living conditions of industrial workers in New York City. The goal of this book is to raise public awareness and advocate for social reform.

Is the speaker more concerned about the native people, or the white men? How do you know?
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

White men

Explanation:

The speaker was more concerned about the white men because he thought that the purpose and the so-called burden of the white men is to conquer and educate the undeveloped people and help them build a civilization. A very racist concept that on the surface looks like it aims to help the natives but actually in the end it never happened that way.
