Question

A bar graph titled Number of Deaths in U S Mining Industry. The x-axis is labeled from 1910 to 1970 by decades. The y-axis is labeled from 0 to 30,000. The 1910's had 25,000 deaths. The 1920's had under 25,000 deaths. The 1930's and 40's had over 10,000 deaths. The 1950's had 5,000 deaths. The 1960's and 70's had under 5,000 deaths. Which claim is supported by evidence presented in the graph? Miners’ wages increased, and their working conditions improved, as the 1900s progressed. The safety of the mining industry improved as the 1900s progressed. Miners’ wages declined as the 1900s progressed. The safety of the mining industry declined as the 1900s progressed.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Heres the graph

Answer 2

The safety of the mining industry improved as the 1900s progressed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Over the course of 60 years from 1910 to 1970, the graph can be seen to be decreasing in number of deaths per year (going from 25,000 to 10,000 to under 5,000). This doesn't provide any information about the wages of the workers, but it does show that their safety increases as there are less deaths as time goes on. The answer is therefore B. Hope this helps!
