Question

the knights of labor was an early labor union established during the nineteenth century.
the knights wanted to have one union with both skilled and unskilled workers. this goal meant including african americans, women, and selected immigrants.
based on the above paragraph, which factor limited the effectiveness of the knights of labor?

• favoring the view of management against strikers
• demanding the reform of unpopular child labor policies
• a majority of members working to pass anti - immigration laws
• a diverse membership preventing the adoption of common demands

Explanation:

The Knights of Labor included a broad, diverse group (skilled/unskilled workers, African Americans, women, some immigrants). Such a wide range of members would have had vastly different needs and priorities, making it difficult to agree on unified, common demands, which limited the union's effectiveness. The other options are inconsistent with the provided text: the passage does not mention favoring management, child labor reform, or anti-immigration efforts by members.

Answer:

A diverse membership preventing the adoption of common demands
