Final answer:

Food establishments serving alcoholic beverages generally must display an "Alcohol and Pregnancy Warning" sign. The requirement is in line with government regulations to protect public health. Additionally, the temperance movement was influenced by the social changes of increasing urbanization and immigration.

Step-by-step explanation:

The assertion that food establishments which serve alcoholic beverages are required to display the "Alcohol and Pregnancy Warning" sign is generally true. This requirement is part of a broader regulatory trend where governments mandate that businesses must provide certain information to consumers, in the interest of public health and consumer protection. For instance, laws require the disclosure of nutritional information on food and beverage containers, warning labels on tobacco products, and all-inclusive advertising of prices for airline tickets. Mandatory signage about the risks of alcohol consumption during pregnancy helps to inform the public of potential health hazards and is aligned with such regulatory efforts.

In connection with the temperance movement, the statement given in Exercise 13.3.3 and the repeated question that it was partially a response to new social conditions of the time, such as increasing urbanization and immigration, is true. The temperance movement was a social movement that advocated for the reduction or prohibition of alcohol consumption and was indeed influenced by the societal changes brought about by urbanization and the influx of immigrants.
