Answer: a. there was a strong tendency to come from a business-elite background (76%)
Explanation:
Beth Mintz and Peter Freitag analyzed the backgrounds of every cabinet member serving between 1897 and 1973. Not only did they found that 66% of them could be considered as part of the upper class before getting their cabinet jobs, but also that more than 76% of them were connected with prominent corporations, and 90% of them came either from upper class or were linked with those corporations.

“I agree with this statement because it is true. Those who do not learn history won’t know how things happened or who or what was affected. Therefore they are “destined” to repeat. You cannot become better at something without knowing how you failed or succeeded the last time. By understanding our past faults, we are able to connect the dots, so to speak, and create a better future for ourselves and future generations.”
