Explanation:

• For Question 4: Tenement housing had issues like lack of ventilation (due to lack of windows), unsanitary conditions (from public toilets and cramped spaces), and fire hazards (wooden buildings). Wooden buildings did not decrease disease spread; they were a fire hazard.
• For Question 5: Factory workers commonly complained about long work hours and low wages, which led them to form unions and strike. Training needs and limited promotion opportunities were not the main common complaints leading to unionization and strikes.

Answer:

Question 4: d. The wooden buildings were potential fire hazards.
