Question

according to the text, life for those who moved north was a struggle because... a they faced a lot of sexism, and men often had to send their women back. b they faced a lot of sexism, and as a result riots took place across cities. c they faced a lot of racism, as well as competition for jobs and housing. d they faced a lot of racism, and were often overworked.

Explanation:

When people moved north (e.g., during the Great Migration of African Americans), they faced racism, and also competition for jobs and housing which made life a struggle. Option A's "sending women back" is not a typical reason. Option B's "riots due to sexism" is incorrect as the main issues were racism and resource competition. Option D's "overworked" is not the primary struggle reason compared to racism and job/housing competition. Option C accurately reflects the challenges of racism and competition for jobs and housing.

Answer:

C. they faced a lot of racism, as well as competition for jobs and housing.
