Answer 1

The statement that best describes educational developments in the late nineteenth century is:

Literacy generally increased, although enrollment in secondary schools was low.

During this time, there was a notable push towards increasing literacy rates, and many children attended primary schools. However, secondary school enrollment remained relatively low, as high schools were still developing and not universally accessible to all students, particularly women and minorities.
