Question

question 1 - 20
what impact did the migration from rural areas to cities have on the rise of reform movements in the late 19th and early 20th centuries?
political machines had more influence in rural areas than in cities
rapid urban growth led to overcrowding and poor living conditions that demanded reform
city workers were generally less educated than those in farming communities
farmers avoided reform efforts out of fear of losing their land

Explanation:

In the late 19th and early 20th - centuries, rapid migration from rural to urban areas led to overcrowding and poor living conditions in cities. These issues spurred demands for reform. Political machines had more influence in cities, not rural areas. There is no evidence that city - workers were less educated than those in farming communities, and the statement about farmers avoiding reform is not relevant to the impact of rural - to - urban migration on reform movements.

Answer:

Rapid urban growth led to overcrowding and poor living conditions that demanded reform.
