Answer:

B. Rhetorical question

Explanation:

A rhetorical question is an "apparent question" as its purpose is not to get an answer (in fact, it does not require one) but to make a statement, and lay emphasis on some point. In the excerpt, that is what the speaker aims to do. He or she begins by stating a point: "unjust laws exist", and provides a question with several options (as if to make the reader think), and ends the question with a final option "or shall we transgress them at once?" The author is not really asking, his purpose is to lay emphasis in the point that laws are unjust and therefore, we should do something about, we should transgress them at once, and fight to make them just.

Announced by the Baltimore and Ohio (B&O), the railroad companies had taken advantage of the economic situation, with the determination to break the trade unions that had been formed by the workers before and after the American Civil War.

At the height of the struggle, the strikes was later subdued, for various reasons amongst which are:

1. The federal army did not break, by following order and staying together in the face of the militia. While the militas lacked effective leadership and coordination.

2. Despite the fears of the industrialists and the government, the workers lack organization amd methodical approach but rather spontaneous outbursts.

Hence, the moment their vituperations had run its course, so too did the revolts.

3. At some point, some of the workers, who lacked organized bargaining power, returned to work
