The correct option is "a. There was no insurance so they would have to quit the job if the injury was severe."

During the Industrial Revolution in the nineteenth century, working conditions were dire and wages were misery., Working hours were from 12 to 13, even for children and jobs were repetitive and piecework. In the premises where the work was carried out there was no ventilation or hygiene, and the workers were crowded together with poorly installed machines. This circumstance caused explosions, accidents multiplied, the inhalation of toxic substances and the heat made the air unbreathable ... Thus, work became an unbearable task, with amputations of fingers and arms and many diseases were originated. It was a time of economic growth but the needs of the worker were ignored by system, and that the workers were considered vicious and responsible for this situation of bad life. And the worst is that this attitude was maintained during the nineteenth century and much of the twentieth. To eradicate this business situation, the Occupational Risk Prevention Laws were created.

1. Law aimed at stopping monopolies, specifically Standard Oil​
pashok25 [27]

Sherman’ antitrust law aimed at stopping monopolies especially, the famous New Hersey standard oil company was dissolved based on this law. This act aims at prohibiting any contracts, conspiracies in ‘restraint of trade’ and it proposed fair trade, it was a crime to create monopoly of a product under this law. This law actually helped small workers and encouraged fair competition between the businesses.

William Rockefeller established Standard oil Company in New Jersey, To give a tough opposition to his competitors, Rockefeller secretly discounted the shipping and transportation charges from railroads, he also formed a secret association with old refiners and bought their refineries at cheaper cost and started to produce more of crude oil.

It became a huge monopoly of supplying 90% of America with crude oil. These actions violated the Sherman’s antitrust law which prohibited Illegal monopoly.

Q : how did washington, D.C., become the nation's capital ?
OLga [1]
What’s the rest of the options but I think this is the answer read through it and see if I’m correct I’m not American I’m British but here . The history of Washington, D.C., is tied to its role as the capital of the United States. Originally inhabited by an Algonquian-speaking people known as the Nacotchtank, the site of the District of Columbia along the Potomac River was first selected by President George Washington. The city came under attack during the War of 1812 in an episode known as the Burning of Washington. Upon the government's return to the capital, it had to manage reconstruction of numerous public buildings, including the White House and the United States Capitol. The McMillan Plan of 1901 helped restore and beautify the downtown core area, including establishing the National Mall, along with numerous monuments and museums.
