Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions. During the 19th-century industrial revolution, urbanization rapidly reshaped societies, transforming tranquil landscapes into bustling cities filled with factories, railways, and towering structures. Classic literature, particularly Charles Dickens' "Hard Times," vividly captures this transformation, illustrating the significant economic opportunities that urbanization offered. Factories created jobs and infrastructure improved trade, making cities hubs of progress and innovation. Despite these advancements, the rapid pace of growth brought with it considerable costs. Dickens highlights severe social inequalities, where while some thrived, many faced dire conditions. Overcrowded slums and poor living conditions became common as the urban poor struggled with inadequate housing and sanitation. The stark contrast between the wealthy and the impoverished underscored the harsh realities of urban life despite the apparent progress. Environmental degradation also became a critical issue as cities expanded. The destruction of green spaces and the rise in pollution were direct consequences of unchecked urban growth. The smog-filled skies and contaminated rivers depicted in literature from this era reflect the broader environmental impact of rapid industrialization. The cities, while symbols of modernity, faced significant challenges related to environmental sustainability. In conclusion, classic literature shows that urbanization involves both benefits and drawbacks. While urban centers have spurred significant economic and social they also present challenges requiring balanced solutions. The legacy of urbanization highlights the need to address both human and environmental concerns in future growth.
