the movement for this revolutionary change in america began before the civil war, and by the 1900s, ____________ came to most states, swelling the number of readers.
○ a. industrial factories
○ b. compulsory education
○ c. reduced taxes on book purchases
○ d. none of the above

Explanation:

Compulsory education would lead to more people being able to read (swelling the number of readers). Industrial factories are related to manufacturing, not directly to increasing readers in the context of education - based growth. Reduced taxes on book purchases might help a bit but not as fundamentally as compulsory education which ensures a larger portion of the population is educated and can read.

Answer:

B. compulsory education
