Question 6 • World History 1A - Mr.Sauceda (Fall 2026)
Read the passage from Charles Dickens’s Hard Times.It contained several large streets all very like one another, and many small streets still more like one another, inhabited by people equally like one another, who all went in and out at the same hours, with the same sound upon the same pavements, to do the same work, and to whom every day was the same as yesterday and tomorrow, and every year the counterpart of the last and the next.
Answer
A
that it resulted in streets that were not built thoughtfully.
B
that it led to air, land, and water pollution.
C
that it robbed people of their individuality.
D
that it widened the gap between rich and poor.
Explanation
The passage emphasizes that the streets and the people who lived in them were all “like one another,” repeating the same routines every day. This suggests that industrial life made people seem interchangeable and took away their individuality. The passage does not focus on pollution, poor city planning, or the gap between rich and poor.
