Question

Use the Trust Giant's Point of View cartoon to answer the question. What does the image tell you about power and wealth in big business? • Power and wealth were consolidated by the government, which gained a lot of profit from new industries. • Power and wealth were shared equally among business owners, workers, and the government. O Power and wealth were spread among the workers, shown by the numerous barrels of oil. • Power and wealth were consolidated by those at the top of the business, like Rockefeller.

Answer 1

The image tells you that power and wealth were consolidated by those at the top of the business, like Rockefeller. The Trust Giant, who represents Rockefeller, is depicted as a large, dominant figure holding a large amount of money, while the smaller figures representing workers and business owners are depicted as being much less powerful and wealthy. This suggests that in big business, power and wealth were consolidated in the hands of a few individuals, rather than being spread out among all parties involved.
