The Growth of Cities

Question 12 • FL-2100310-United States History A

Which sentence best illustrates the link between the “American Dream” and urbanization in the late 1800s?

Answer
A
A former military general inherits a fortune.
B
A high school graduate enrolls in a university.
C
A factory worker is promoted to a management position.
D
A farm worker relocates to an eastern city to start a business.

Explanation

Urbanization involved people moving from rural areas to cities, where they hoped to find new opportunities. A farm worker relocating to an eastern city to start a business shows both that movement and the pursuit of upward mobility associated with the American Dream. The other choices do not directly connect rural-to-urban migration with opportunity.
