Praxis II Citizenship

Answer: B - During the Gilded Age, the neighborhood or area in which one lived was a strong indicator of their social class. Suburbs were first created during this period (though they were not yet plentiful or expansive), and they were populated exclusively by America’s first middle class families, in which (in most cases) only the husbands worked, often in mid-level or upper management positions. Urban communities were starkly divided into luxury neighborhoods for the wealthiest Americans and disease-plagued tenements, in which the urban working class lived.
