This excerpt shows how Debs has endured and shared the harsh working conditions of laborers (D.).
Many verbal groups indicate his physical involvement in the working people's daily life and how it affected him emotionally:
- "I had ... been stung by the exposure ... of the rail;"
- "I was with the boys ... at the broken engine's side;"
- "helped to bear;"
- "feel the burden."
As for the harsh working conditions, they are described by the following nouns and adjectives:
- "hardship;"
- "weary;"
- "bruised and bleeding bodies;"
- "burden."
We know that they are laborers and not, for example, business owners, because their work is very manual. Besides, the term "working class" appears in the text, as well as "Proletaire" which is borrowed from French and means "belonging to the lower social classes."
The correct answer is B) The percentage of people living in urban areas increased from 1790 to 1920.
Explanation:
The graph displays the changes in the percentage of urban (orange) and rural population (blue). Moreover, this graph shows how both populations changed from 1790 to 1920. About this, the general trend is a decrease in the rural population and an increase in the rural population. Indeed, in 1790 the rural population was around 95% and this decreases to 50% by 1920. On the opposite, the urban population increases as this was around 5% in 1790 and by 1920 the population is around 50%. Thus, the statement that best reflects the data is "The percentage of people living in urban areas increased from 1790 to 1920."
