the eight-hour workday

Explanation:

For the first question, during the Second Industrial Revolution, the American West was primarily characterized by the extraction and utilization of its abundant natural resources (such as timber, minerals, and coal) to feed the industrial demands of the nation, rather than being a major center for heavy steel manufacturing or drawing the bulk of industrial manufacturing immigrants compared to the Northeast and Midwest.

For the second question, the development of suburbs was a major new urban trend during this era. The expansion of streetcars and mass transit systems allowed wealthier and middle-class city dwellers to move away from congested urban centers to residential suburbs, transforming the physical structure of American cities.

Answer:

Question 1: Its plentiful natural resources were used in industry.
Question 2: Development of suburbs
