Here are the answers to each question based on the central ideas typically associated with industrial cities and related historical contexts:
1. Which sentence LEAST supports the central idea of the article?
- **C. Doctors were also using medical practices from the Middle Ages like bloodletting and leaching.**
- This sentence does not directly relate to the urban problems caused by the Industrial Revolution compared to the others.
2. Which of the following was NOT a problem in industrial cities?

- Contaminated water was identified as the primary cause of cholera outbreaks, particularly during urbanization.
5. What was the MAIN reason "Poor houses" were so awful?
