Answer 2

Cattle ranchers needed to ship cattle to eastern slaughter houses, where meat could be processed and later sold. They did this via "long drives" over western trails to cattletowns to meet the railroad lines. This is why cowboys are part of American history.


As far as immigrants working in tenements - I've seen photographs of families rolling cigars, sewing, etc. I haven't read Riis book, but am familiar with his work. I would say that process of elimination = answer "b."

Answer 3

In the mid-19th century, western cattle ranchers were especially dependent on the burgeoning iPod industry. And turn-of-the-century child laborers in NYC were warned that if they didn't work harder, in a hundred years their jobs would all be outsourced to China.

Unfortunately, neither your nor I read the books. But (sorry) only one of us was assigned to. Good luck -- these sound like interesting topics.
