Which of the following statements best describes how urban commuting changed in the late 1800s?

Answer
A
Subways and automobiles replaced horse-drawn trolleys.
B
Horse-drawn trolleys replaced elevated trains and subways.
C
Elevated trains and subways replaced horse-drawn trolleys.
D
Automobiles replaced horse-drawn trolleys.

Explanation

In the late 1800s, growing cities adopted faster mass-transit systems, including elevated trains and subways. These systems increasingly replaced horse-drawn trolleys for urban travel. Automobiles did not yet replace trolleys on a broad scale, so “Elevated trains and subways replaced horse-drawn trolleys” is the best choice.
