Correct. The answer is a. Schneiderman believed that industrial capitalism was inherently dangerous to workers and that only a strong labor movement could bring about the changes that would improve the conditions of the workplace. She did not believe that the reformers in the audience had workers’ interests at heart and concluded her remarks by saying, “I know from my experience it is up to the working people to save themselves. The only way they can save themselves is by a strong working-class movement.”
