Question

1. what can be concluded about the demise of the knights of labor? (5 points)

they would have survived if they had been more radical.
they would have survived if they included unskilled workers.
the public wanted a more moderate approach to labor issues.
the public supported the eight - hour workday and equal pay for women.

Explanation:

The Knights of Labor had a more radical approach at times, and their decline was partly due to public preference for a more moderate stance on labor issues. The first option is incorrect as being more radical likely wouldn't have helped their survival. The second is wrong because they did include unskilled workers. The fourth option's statements (eight - hour workday and equal pay for women support) don't directly relate to their demise. The third option aligns with the idea that the public's desire for moderation contributed to their downfall.

Answer:

C. The public wanted a more moderate approach to labor issues.
