Correct. The answer is C. As a reformer, Riis sought to give well-off Americans some sense of what it was like for poor people living in urban tenements. The photograph reveals so much more detail than the drawing that it makes a more compelling image and was much more likely to stir other reformers into action.

Correct. The answer is D. The element of surprise that Riis described served to counter any skeptics’ claims that he created the miserable scenes in his photos to make poor immigrants’ lives seem worse than they really were. Startling illegal tenants from sleep precluded any accusation that reformers were tampering with their evidence.

Correct. The answer is B. Riis’s work and reform agenda were associated with progressivism, which argued that human intelligence could shape and improve society. Riis took these photographs to show middle-class Americans how poor city-dwellers lived and convince them to support progressives’ reform efforts.
