Although the lower classes lived in squalor, they gained which of the following from their migration to urban centers?
Explanation
Answer: E - The large-scale migration to urban centers attracted much public attention and philanthropic outreach, both of which paved the way for reform. Gaining the vote would take nearly a century, but the sheer numbers living in poverty generated legislative reform. The labor union movement would also arise to address the needs of the working class. Otherwise, living conditions were quite dismal; however, they were not necessarily worse than those of rural poverty, and those in cities had better communication and access to resources.
