Question

You are a historian studying Britain. You believe that a rise in the average British citizen’s income between 1800 and 1850 can be linked to a rise in literacy. You have many sources of data from a town in Britain covering that period. Which four types of data would you study to investigate this theory?
the amount of wheat produced compared to barley and millet
the average cost of a home
the number of inns and pubs in the town
the number of booksellers and libraries in the town
the number of people who emigrated from that town to the United States

the number of people coming to the town for employment
the number of people who died of the disease tuberculosis
