Answer 2

Answer:

Answer:

D. Groups advocated safer working conditions for factory workers.

Explanation:

The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire brought attention to the unsafe conditions that many workers faced in sweatshops. The fire had spread quickly because of the flammable textiles that were located throughout the factory. Workers were unable to escape because doors had been locked to prevent workers from stealing materials. Fire ladders were not tall enough to reach the trapped workers on the upper floors. The International Ladies' Garment Workers Union began advocating reforms to improve working conditions for the garment industry, which led to new safety regulations.
