C. The Mycenaean civilization (c. 1700-1100 BCE) flourished in the Late Bronze Age, reaching its peak from the 15th to the 13th century BCE when it extended its influence not only throughout the Peloponnese in Greece but also across the Aegean, in particular, on Crete and the Cycladic islands
The answer is option 3: A technique for making porcelain was perfected.
The art of making porcelain prospered in both periods. A lot of innovations were made in forms, glazes, decorative techniques methods of production and kiln technology.
During the Tang Dynasty, porcelain kilns were constructed all over the country and a type of vessel with molded decorations on it became very popular, which was made using an "upside down" and the coal was used as kiln fuel.
By the Song period, the manufacturing process was standardized (base-making, glazing, ingredient control, and temperature maintenance). In addition, the industry was divided into five types of kilns that had several features for glaze coloring and pattern design.
The scientific revolution, which emphasized systematic experimentation as the most valid research method, resulted in developments in mathematics, physics, astronomy, biology, and chemistry. These developments transformed the views of society about nature.
Answer: B. The crowding of people in tenements and slums.
Further detail:
The Industrial Revolution had its beginning in Great Britain, and eventually spread from there. Once the United States became involved, especially in the "Second Industrial Revolution" years (1870-1914), the size and resources of the country allowed the US to become a bigger industrial power than the nations of Europe.
Industrialization also led to the phenomenon of <u>urbanization</u> -- the movement of people away from the rural countryside and into cities. That led to other issues, like sanitation and crime problems in cities. So sanitation and health measures were enacted, and the first police forces were formed.
The overcrowding conditions also meant poor living conditions in tenements and slums. The condition of these sorts of neighborhoods was documented by Jacob Riis, a police reporter in New York. In 1888, Riis took pictures of what life was like in New York 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.
