Explanation:

To solve the questions about the political cartoon, we analyze each one:

1. When was the cartoon created?

From the blue boxes, we see "1871" is provided. So the cartoon was created in 1871.

2. Are there any recognizable figures in the cartoon?

The blue box says "Tammany Hall leader Boss Tweed" is featured, so the recognizable figure is Boss Tweed.

3. Are there any symbols or exaggerations?

The blue box mentions "A figure is pictured with a bag of money in place of his face"—this is an exaggeration/symbol, representing that Boss Tweed prioritized money over "brains" (ability) in elections.

4. What is the caption?

The blue box provides the caption: "The 'Brains' That Achieved the Tammany Victory at the Rochester Democratic Convention" (with the implied message from "Boss Tweed won elections with money rather than brains").

Answer:

s:

• When was the cartoon created? 1871
• Are there any recognizable figures in the cartoon? Tammany Hall leader Boss Tweed
• Are there any symbols or exaggerations? A figure (Boss Tweed) has a bag of money instead of a face (exaggeration/symbol for prioritizing money)
