Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: The excerpt describes slums with crowded working - class, unpaved/dirty streets, refuse, no sewers, and foul pools. This shows industrialization (which led to growth of cities and working - class concentration) created poor living conditions.
• Option 2: The passage is about living conditions in slums, not how industrial cities were born. So this is incorrect.
• Option 3: The passage focuses on living conditions, not environmental destruction by steam - power machinery. Incorrect.
• Option 4: The passage describes the poor conditions, not that workers need to try harder. Incorrect.

Answer:

A. Industrialization has created poor living conditions.
