How did urban crowding and unemployment affect revolutionary consciousness?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: They increased discontent and a sense of organisation among the poor and workers
Rapid urbanisation brought large numbers of people into towns, but employment, housing and food supplies did not expand equally. Unemployment and overcrowded living conditions created frustration among workers and the urban poor. Shared hardships also encouraged discussion, collective action and support for reformist or revolutionary movements. Thus option A is correct; the other options contradict the social effects of unemployment and crowding.
