Question 7 • United States History and Geography

Which of these phrases best describes American society in the early 1900s?

Answer
A
a large wealthy class, a large middle class, and a small class of working poor
B
a small wealthy class, a large middle class, and a large class of working poor
C
a small wealthy class, a growing middle class, and a large class of working poor
D
a small wealthy class, a growing middle class, and a small class of working poor

Explanation

In the early 1900s, industrialization and urban growth helped expand the middle class, but wealth remained concentrated among a relatively small elite. Many workers still earned low wages and lived in poverty, so the working poor were a large class. This is best described as a small wealthy class, a growing middle class, and a large class of working poor.
