Question 10 • TX-US History Studies Since 1877 A

Answer
A
grew rapidly as people moved to urban centers.
B
shrank as rural areas became more popular.
C
shrank as people began moving to the suburbs.
D
grew slowly as they industrialized.

Explanation

Between 1790 and 1900, the United States became increasingly industrialized, and more people moved from rural areas to cities for factory and other jobs. As a result, American cities grew rapidly. Suburbanization became much more significant later, so it does not explain a shrinking city population during this period.
