Question

passage 3: jacob riis, \how the other half lives\ (1890)
\in the dark hallways of the tenements, the air is foul, the stairways broken, and the children pale. yet here, in these narrow spaces, the citys labor force is born and raised\
riiss work led to which long - term effect on american cities?
a stricter building codes and urban sanitation reform
b the banning of political cartoons
c decreased government oversight
d growth of laissez - faire policies

Explanation:

Jacob Riis's work "How the Other Half Lives" exposed the poor living conditions in tenements. This led to calls for reform. Stricter building codes (to address broken stairways etc.) and urban sanitation reform (to deal with foul air) would be logical long - term effects. Banning political cartoons has no relation to his work. His work would likely lead to increased government oversight (not decreased) as problems were exposed. Laissez - faire policies involve less government intervention, which is contrary to what would happen after such exposés.

Answer:

A. Stricter building codes and urban sanitation reform
