PLEASE HELP! In this excerpt from Hard Times by Charles Dickens, which lines include images of the horrors of industrialization?

It was a town of red brick, or of brick that would have been red if the smoke and ashes had allowed it; but as matters stood it was a town of unnatural red and black like the painted face of a savage. It was a town of machinery and tall chimneys, out of which interminable serpents of smoke trailed themselves for ever and ever, and never got uncoiled. It had a black canal in it, and a river that ran purple with ill-smelling dye, and vast piles of building full of windows where there was a rattling and a trembling all day long, and where the piston of the steam-engine worked monotonously up and down, like the head of an elephant in a state of melancholy madness.
… You saw nothing in Coketown but what was severely workful. If the members of a religious persuasion built a chapel there - as the members of eighteen religious persuasions had done - they made it a pious warehouse of red brick, with sometimes (but this is only in highly ornamental examples) a bell in a birdcage on the top of it. The solitary exception was the New Church; a stuccoed edifice with a square steeple over the door, terminating in four short pinnacles like florid wooden legs.

Answers

A, B, and C show the horrors of industrialization.


Industrialization included the building of many factories in cities. These factories were not clean and had no environmental protection rules to follow. They spewed out black soot all over the city making the city dark and dirty. In options A, B, and C this horrid blackness is described. Option A compares the soot covered town to a savage, which has an evil dangerous connotation. Option B compares the black smoke from the factories to a snake looming over the city never leaving. Option C talks of a polluted river full of the nastiness of the industries and factories that were built during Industrialization. All of these images show how industrialization has turned the town into a place crawling with black serpents, pollutants, and savages.

Answer:A. it was a town of unnatural red and black like the painted face of a savage.

B. serpents of smoke trailed themselves for ever and ever, and never got uncoiled.

C. black canal in it, and a river that ran purple with ill-smelling dye.

Which part of the excerpt supports the claim that Paine believed the human cost of the colonists' armed struggle against the British was well worth the outcome?The Crisis, No. 1 by Thomas Paine (excerpt) . . . I turn with the warm ardor of a friend to those who have nobly stood, and are yet determined to stand the matter out: I call not upon a few, but upon all: not on this state or that state, but on every state: up and help us; lay your shoulders to the wheel; better have too much force than too little, when so great an object is at stake. Let it be told to the future world, that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet and to repulse it. Say not that thousands are gone, turn out your tens of thousands; throw not the burden of the day upon Providence, but "show your faith by your works," that God may bless you. It matters not where you live, or what rank of life you hold, the evil or the blessing will reach you all. The far and the near, the home counties and the back, the rich and the poor, will suffer or rejoice alike. The heart that feels not now is dead; the blood of his children will curse his cowardice, who shrinks back at a time when a little might have saved the whole, and made them happy. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death. My own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. Not all the treasures of the world, so far as I believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for I think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am I to suffer it?
