Question

question 4 of 23
by the end of the nineteenth century, barbering ____.
select the correct response:
was looked down upon
was still linked to dentistry
began to emerge as an independent profession
was legally regulated by the states

Explanation:

By the late 19th century, barbering split from dentistry (which had professionalized earlier) and started to establish itself as its own distinct, independent trade, separate from medical/dental practices. The other options are incorrect: barbering was not broadly looked down upon as it was a necessary service, it was no longer linked to dentistry by this time, and widespread state legal regulation came later in the 20th century.

Answer:

began to emerge as an independent profession
