Correct answer: B. Overcrowded and unsanitary tenements

Details:

Jacob Riis was a police reporter in New York.  In 1888, Riis took pictures of what life was like in city's slums.  Using his own photos as well as photos gathered from other photographers, Riis began to give lectures titled, "The Other Half: How It Lives and Dies in New York," in which he would show the pictures on a projection screen and describe for viewers what the situations were like.  He gave his lectures in New York City churches.  In 1989, a magazine article by Riis (based on his lectures) was published in <em>Scribner's Magazine.  </em>The book version was then published in 1890 as <em>How the Other Half Lives: Studies among the Tenements of New York.</em>

Riis blamed the poor living conditions on greed and neglect from society's wealthier classes, and called on society to remedy the situation as a moral obligation.

Why did christopher columbus have his ships wait until daylight before approaching the islands?
iVinArrow [24]

On October 12, 1492, a sailor looked out from the bow of his sailing ship, the Pinta, to the horizon and saw land. Columbus and his crews saw the New World after ten weeks at sea from the port of Palos, Spain.

Columbus set sail from Spain on August 3, 1492, in search of an all-water route to Asia. More than two months later, on October 12, Columbus landed on an island in the Bahamas he named San Salvador; the natives called it Guanahani.

In the 15th and 16th centuries, Europeans wanted to find sea routes to the Far East. Columbus wanted to find a new route to India, China, Japan and the Spice Islands.
