Answer 2

There are keywords used in the paragraph that separate the positive and negative content provided. The first example of this is "Even though most of these jobs did not pay well," which highlights a low-income environment. The second example is more forthright beginning with "Unfortunately", which in its own is a negative word, and it describes the negative of overcrowding. Lastly, the paragraph utilizes unfortunately once more, to describe the pollution. These three items are the negatives within the paragraph.
