Question

in 1890, a photojournalist named jacob riis wrote a book called how the other half lives, which described what life was like during that time, especially for residents of tenement apartments.
read the adapted excerpts from riiss book. then answer the question below.
today, three - fourths of new yorks people live in the tenements, and the drift of the population to the cities is sending ever - increasing multitudes to crowd them. the fifteen thousand tenant houses have swelled into thirty - seven thousand, and more than twelve hundred thousand persons call them home. the one way out—rapid transit to the suburbs—has brought no relief.
well do i recollect a july day when the thermometer outside was climbing high in the nineties; but inside, in that awful room, with half a dozen persons washing, cooking, and sorting rags, the thermometer ran up to 115 degrees! perishing for the want of a breath of fresh air in this city of untold charities!
based on the excerpts, what were living conditions like for industrial workers during the gilded age? select all that apply.

Explanation:

Since the question is about the living conditions of industrial workers during the Gilded Age based on the excerpts, and no options are provided here, we can analyze the excerpts:

1. From the first excerpt: "three - fourths of New York's people live in the tenements" and "the drift of the population to the cities is sending ever - increasing multitudes to crowd them" shows overcrowding in tenements. Also, "rapid transit to the suburbs—has brought no relief" implies that the overcrowding issue was not solved by moving to suburbs.
2. From the second excerpt: "in that awful room, with half a dozen persons washing, cooking, and sorting rags, the thermometer ran up to 115 degrees" and "Perishing for the want of a breath of fresh air" shows poor ventilation and extremely hot and unhygienic living conditions.

If we assume the options are something like:
A. Overcrowded living spaces
B. Poor ventilation
C. High temperatures inside living spaces
D. Lack of relief from overcrowding even with transit to suburbs

Then the correct options would be A, B, C, D (depending on the actual options provided). But since the options are not given in the user's question, we can only provide the analysis of the living conditions.

Answer:

(Assuming the options are as above) A. Overcrowded living spaces, B. Poor ventilation, C. High temperatures inside living spaces, D. Lack of relief from overcrowding even with transit to suburbs (Please note that the answer depends on the actual options provided in the original question. If you can provide the options, I can give a more accurate answer.)
