B. “In the country’s early days most Americans lived like Dale Carnegie’s family, on farms or in small towns, interacting with people they’d known since childhood.”

C. “In 1790, only 3 percent of Americans lived in cities; in 1840, only 8 percent did; by 1920, more than a third of the country were urbanites.”
