Read the following passage and choose the correct answer.

Throughout the nineteenth century and into the twentieth, citizens of the United States maintained a
bias against big cities. Most lived on farms and in small towns and believed cities to be centers of corruption,
crime, poverty, and moral degradation. Their distrust was caused, in part, by a notional ideology that
proclaimed farming the greatest Occupation and rural living superior to urban living. This attitude prevailed
even as the number of urban dwellers increased and cities became an essential feature of the notional
landscape. Gradually, economic reality overcame ideology. Thousands abandoned the precarious life on the
farm for more secure and better paying jobs in the city. But when these people migrated from the
countryside, they carried their fears and suspicions with them. These new urban population, already
convinced that cities were overwhelmed with great problems, eagerly embraced the progressive reforms that
promised to bring order out of the chaos of the city.
One of many reforms came in the area of public utilities. Water and sewerage systems were usually
operated by municipal governments, but the gas and electric networks were privately owned. Reformers
feared that the privately owned utility companies would charge exorbitant rates for these essential services
and deliver them only to people who would afford them, some city and state governments responded by
regulating the utility companies, but a number of cities began to supply these services themselves.
Proponents of these reforms argued that public ownership and regulation would insure widespread access to
these utilities and guarantee a fair price.
While some reforms focused on government and public behavior, others looked at the cities as a
whole. Civic leaders, convinced that physical environment influenced human behavior, argued that cities
should develop master plans to guide their future growth and development. City planning was nothing new,
but the rapid industrialization and urban growth of the late nineteenth century took place without any
consideration for order. Urban renewal in the twentieth century followed several courses. Some cities
introduced plans to completely rebuild the city core. Most other cities contented themselves with zoning
plans for regulating future growth. Certain parts of town were restricted to residential use, while others were
set aside for industrial or commercial development.

A. A comparison of urban and rural life in the early twentieth century
