After the California Gold Rush that started in 1848, the waves of people (Called the forty-niners) looking to get rich quickly arrived, and by 1849, they have extracted most what was known as "easy gold".

After this period, the mineral's extraction was far harder and required more destructive and elaborated methods. This situation benefited wealthier individuals that opted to form massive corporations in order to get the most out of the mines.

The result of the birth of these organizations was that they transformed the mining industry by creating large national networks of production and finance.

So the answer is: Corporations.

Read the excerpts from Frankenstein and The Divine Comedy. The first excerpt describes the reaction of the character Victor Fran
Doss [256]

Answer:

A. Both narrators describe gazing upon a hideous being.

B. Frankenstein believes his monster to be even more gruesome looking than the creatures Dante faced in hell.

Explanation:

Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" revolves around a young scientist's desire to achieve knowledge beyond human limits, creating a monster. This act made him parallel to a god, capable of giving life to a being.

Dante Alighieri's "The Divine Comedy" focuses on the 'journey' of the writer (supposedly) into the afterworld. The narrative takes us along as Dante embarks on a 'tour' of the three realms of the dead.

In these two excerpts given in the question, we see Victor and Dante commenting on the respective monsters they encountered. While Frankenstein describes his monster as <em>"a thing such as even Dante could not have conceived"</em>, Dante's Minos is full of <em>"ghastly features".</em>

Thus, the correct answers are options A and B.
