Riis led to the formation of tenement housing commission and also led to the formation of tenement housing board to solve problems like crowding, small houses, no access to sanitation.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Tenement housing was a necessary for the people living in that area in the United States of America because the houses they were living in originally were in very bad conditions and did not have much facilities like sanitation, light, air and so on. They were very very small in sizes leading to the suffocation of the people living in those houses.
With the formation of tenement housing commission by Riis, there were provisions made for building up of the tenement housing. With these houses, the problem of crowding of those people would have ended and the tenement houses also had the facilities of light and air. There was also access to sanitation.
<u>Answer:</u>
The word, if used to replace "quiet," in the given sentence "Then the people went to their beds, and the camp was quiet." would give this sentence a more negative tone is (B) Stifled.
"Then the people went to their beds, and the camp was <u>stifled</u>."
<u>Explanation:</u>
The word "Quiet" literally denotes a place which is void of noise. Here, in the given sentence, when the people who used to camp went back to bed, one should expect a calm and a peaceful atmosphere. During the bed time, no one will make such loud noises which will distract the people in the environment as everyone tend to take rest during night. The word "Quiet" denotes that type of environment too.
The word "Silent" is similar in meaning to the word "Quiet" and it generates a positive tone too. The word "Still" denotes the environment which is undisturbed by any external factors. Hence, the word "Still" also projects the exact nature of the environment. If we use the word "Stifled" in the above sentence, it refers to the environment which is generally constrained from doing something i.e., enforcing an order to do something. Here, the word "Stifled" creates a negative tone when replaced in the given sentence.

Explanation:
In analogies, it is required to apply the type of relationship found in a pair of two elements or concepts into a new pair of elements establishing in a relationship of analogy or comparison. This means, in this case in which the original pair of concepts is "phase: stage" that relate to each other as synonyms because they both refer to a section in a process, the pair of words that complete this analogy also need to be synonyms or have similar meanings.
Considering this, the pair of words that relate to each other as synonyms and therefore can complete this analogy are "photograph: picture" because they both refer to an image of an object, person or animal that can be produced by using a camera, which means as "phase" and "stage" these concepts are synonyms and therefore a similar relationship or analogy is established between both word pairs.
