The correct answer is D) Slaughterhouse conditions were even worse than Sinclair had reported.

Upton Sinclair wrote about the horrible conditions of the meat packing industry in his famous fictional novel <em>The Jungle</em>. Even though this book followed the story of a made up family, Sinclair based his experiences on his actual life when he worked in Chicago's meatpacking district. To see if these conditions were actually happening, the government sent inspectors into meat packing plants all over the US. After seeing the disgusting conditions, president Teddy Roosevelt passed the Meat Inspection Act of 1906. This would help to ensure safe and healthy working conditions.

Answer: Slaughterhouse conditions were even worse than Sinclair had reported.

In <em>The Jungle</em>, Upton Sinclair presented a story that described the practices of the meatpacking industry in Chicago. The purpose of Sinclair's book was to show people the abuses and mistreatment suffered by immigrants who arrived to America looking for a better life. However, this was not the part that resonated with most readers. Instead, more attention was given to the conditions in which meat was processed. People were disgusted and outraged by Sinclair's descriptions. The book motivated the passing of legislation in order to improve the sanitary conditions of the meatpacking industry.

What was the impact of the 1900 hurricane in Galveston and what preventative steps did the city take to prevent such severe dama
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Explanation: The fact that the city of Galveston exists today is the triumph of imagination, hope and determination over reality. Perched precariously on a sand-barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico, Galveston is subject to the whims of inevitable hurricanes.

One of those hurricanes, dancing its deadly way across the Gulf of Mexico in early September 1900, came very close to dealing the city a fatal blow. An estimated 6,000 residents died, and most structures in the city were destroyed or badly damaged. In terms of human life, it remains the worst natural disaster in United States history.

Galveston's leaders took several major steps to recover from the storm and to prevent a recurrence of the devastation. First, they developed a new form of municipal government, one with strong centralized control to handle the economic recovery of the city. Next, they built a massive seawall to turn back storm-generated waves. Perhaps the most amazing step they took was to raise the level of the entire city, by more than 16 feet in some areas, in order to keep flooding at a minimum.
