Question

1. which of the following is not an example of historical context? choose only one answer below. a. during the 1870s, strong demand for shoes and textiles created many jobs in the factories of lowell, ma. b. during the 1870s, three out of four workers in lowell, ma were employed in textile mills. c. in 1922, jack kerouac, author of on the road, was born to french-canadian parents in lowell, mass.

Answer 1

c. In 1922, Jack Kerouac, author of On the Road, was born to French-Canadian parents in Lowell, Mass.

This statement provides information about the birth of a famous author, but it does not provide historical context in the same way that the other two statements do. The first two statements provide information about the economic and social conditions in Lowell, Mass during a specific time period (the 1870s), which helps to contextualize other events or developments that took place in that location during that time. The third statement is specific to an individual and does not provide broader contextual information about the time period or location.
