Explanation:

First Question (Which piece of evidence shows success of the AFL?):

To determine the success of the AFL (American Federation of Labor), we analyze each option:

• "Changed laws" is not a direct success metric of the AFL's efforts for workers.
• "Weekly wages rose" is a tangible outcome showing improved economic conditions for workers, a key success of the AFL's advocacy.
• "Used strikes as major tactic" describes a method, not success.
• "Focused on collective bargaining" describes a strategy, not success.

So the evidence of success is weekly wages rising.

Analyzing ARU (American Railway Union) differences:

• "It used strikes" is common among unions, not unique.
• "It included women" was not unique to ARU.
• "It ended up failing to survive" is not a defining difference.
• "It included skilled and unskilled workers" – most unions focused on one group, but ARU included both, making it distinct.

Answer:

B. weekly wages rose

Second Question (How was the ARU different from other unions?):
