Question 5 • US History

What is one way that city landscapes changed in the beginning of the twentieth century?

Answer
A
The first transportation systems were built.
B
The first tenement apartments were built.
C
The first structures using steel were built.
D
The first skyscrapers were built.

Explanation

At the beginning of the twentieth century, advances in steel-frame construction and elevators made much taller buildings practical. Skyscrapers began to reshape city skylines, so “the first skyscrapers were built” is the best choice. Transportation systems and tenement apartments existed earlier, and steel structures also predated this period.
