Which text in this excerpt from Twenty Years at Hull House by Jane Addams demonstrates the lack of concern for poor immigrant co

mmunities that was frequently shown by politicians and others with influence?
[-One of the striking features of our neighborhood twenty years ago, and one to which we never became reconciled, was the presence of huge wooden garbage boxes-] fastened to the street pavement in which the undisturbed refuse accumulated day by day. The system of garbage collecting was inadequate throughout the city, but it became the greatest menace in a ward such as ours, where the normal amount of waste was much increased by the decayed fruit and vegetables discarded by the Italian and Greek fruit peddlers, and by the residuum left over from the piles of filthy rags which were fished out of the city dumps and brought to the homes of the rag pickers for further sorting and washing...



[-It is easy for even the most conscientious citizen of Chicago to forget the foul smells of the stockyards and the garbage dumps-], when he is living so far from them that he is only occasionally made conscious of their existence, but the residents of a Settlement are perforce constantly surrounded by them. During our first three years on Halsted Street, we had established a small incinerator at Hull-House, and [-we had many times reported the untoward conditions of the ward to the city hall.-] We had also arranged many talks for the immigrants, pointing out that although a woman may sweep her own doorway in her native village and allow the reuse to innocently decay in the open air and sunshine, [-in a crowded city quarter, if the garbage is not properly collected and destroyed, a tenement-house mother may see her children sicken and die-], and that the immigrants must therefore not only keep their own houses clean, but must also help the authorities to keep the city clean.

[- -] means those are one of the answers

The text in this passage that mostly shows a lack of concern was the refuse dump that was left in the neighborhood

According to the passage there were inadequacies in the method through which refuse was collected.

In this particular area, it was a big problem. The people that lived in the area were made to stay in such pitiable and foul environment.

The area was so bad that there was a fear of sickness and death from this issue. But although the problem was constantly reported to the politicians, nothing was done about it.

How did rearmament impact Germany’s economy and politics?
DENIUS [597]

  SINCE 1947, the United States has sought to strengthen the economy of West Germany, and gave the initial impetus to recovery by granting aid on a large scale. But Germany herself had to do the rest. The German people had experienced the worst defeat in their country's history, but they brought their industriousness, their talent for organization and their scientific skill to bear to dig themselves out of the ruins and regain what they had lost in wealth and in international good will. The result was what has often been called the "German miracle." Germany's recovery, in turn, has had a beneficial effect on the economic development of her trading partners. By opening her doors to imports from the countries in the Organization for European Economic Cooperation, by making foreign exchange available for German travel abroad, and by resuming the service on her large foreign debt, Germany has indirectly made a substantial contribution to the recovery of other European nations. Health, it appears, is as contagious as disease.
