question 9 of 10
what did traveling on streetcars mean for many young people?

a. they had less contact with other people their own age.

b. they spent less time in the city.

c. they had less money for leisure activities.

d. they could get to know each other without supervision.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Streetcars would likely increase contact with peers, so this is incorrect.
• Option B: Streetcars are in the city, so traveling on them wouldn't mean less time in the city, incorrect.
• Option C: There's no direct link between streetcar travel and less money for leisure, incorrect.
• Option D: Streetcars allowed young people to meet and interact without adult supervision, which makes sense as a new form of mobility for them.

Answer:

D. They could get to know each other without supervision.
