Answer:

Sinclair presents images of hands full of cuts and covered with poisoned blood.

Step-by-step explanation:

Through the context of your question, we can see that you are referring to "From The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair. In this work, the author reports the terrible conditions of the slaughterhouses in the USA, both in relation to the quality of the meat sold, hygiene and working conditions, mainly in relation to the immigrants who worked in this industry.

Sinclair's descriptions shocked the public and an example of this can be seen on lines 102-122, where Sinclair presents disturbing images of the hands of the workers who had several cuts and were covered in blood. He did this to show the poor working conditions, hygiene and condensation.
