Answer:
1. The factories did not have good hygiene conditions. The equipment was not safe. The workers did not have any safety guidelines.
2. Meatpacking plants had dangerous and unsanitary working conditions.
3. The readers reacted with astonishment, as they did not know that this industry worked in this way and had no idea that they consumed food from that environment. Workers accepted this, because they had no other job options and needed to work to survive. To avoid this, the government can carry out an intense inspection of the industries and promote legislation on food security and labor rights aimed at immigrants.
Explanation:
"The Jungle" was written by Upton Sinclair and is a novel that portrays the unsanitary conditions that many immigrant workers were subjected to in Chicago while working on meatpacking factories.
