Read the passage and then answer the following question: Which of the statements listed after the passage is true?One of the first strikes of cotton-factory operatives that ever took place in this country was that in Lowell, in October, 1836. When it was announced that the wages were to be cut down, great indignation was felt, and it was decided to strike, en masse. This was done. The mills were shut down, and the girls went in procession from their several corporations to the "grove" on Chapel Hill, and listened to "incendiary" speeches from some early labor reformers.

One of the girls stood on a pump, and gave vent to the feelings of her companions in a neat speech, declaring that it was their duty to resist all attempts at cutting down the wages. This was the first time a woman had spoken in public in Lowell, and the event caused surprise and consternation among her audience. . . .

It is hardly necessary to say that so far as results were concerned this strike did no good. The dissatisfaction of the operatives subsided, or burned itself out, and though the authorities did not accede to their demands, the majority returned to their work, and the corporation went on cutting down the wages.


A.
There was a causal relationship between the Lowell workers' anger and the mills being shut down.



B.
There was a causal relationship between the Lowell workers' public speeches and the strike's failure.



C.
There was a causal relationship between the Lowell workers' strike and an increase in wages.



D.
There was a causal relationship between the Lowell workers' protests and the factory cutting wages.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

A. There was a causal relationship between the Lowell workers' anger and the mills being shut down.

A casual relationship is a cause-effect relationship. In the passage the workers were angered by cuts in wages and that caused them to strike and therefore the shutdown in of the mills.

Lowell workers were almost entirely women and the strikes were an important step in women having a voice in public. Women organized and despite their efforts were unable to have any effect on the job situation. The strikes ended and wages did not increase but it did create a bigger idea that strikes and organization could empower the worker.

Ansel Adamas was the one whot took the picture of the Golden Gate before the bridge was built.

Ansel Adams is rightly celebrated for his iconic images of Yosemite, National Parks and the Southwest.

The Golden Gate before the Bridge, San Francisco, CA, 1932 — One beautiful storm-clearing morning” Adams wrote, “I looked out the window of our San Francisco home and saw magnificent clouds rolling from the north over the Golden Gate. I grabbed the 8 x 10 equipment and drove to the end of 32nd Avenue at the edge of Seacliff. I dashed along the old Cliff House railroad bed for a short distance, then down to the crest of a promontory. From there a grand view of the Golden Gate commanded me to set up the heavy tripod, attach the camera and lens, and focus on the wonder evolving landscape of clouds.”
That statement is false.

That photo was taken by Ansel Adam.
