Which of these lines from the text provides a clue that Engels is a socialist and therefore opposed to capitalism? "Every great city has one or more slums" "The streets are generally unpaved" "The modern art of manufacture has reached its perfection" "the attempts of the proletariat to rise above this abasement".
