Question

During the Victorian Era in England (1836-1901), the population increased exponentially from 2 million to over 6.5 million people. Mark the negative results of the English population increase on the English middle class.


overcrowding


plenty of food


plenty of room


starvation

Answer 1

Negative results: overcrowding and starvation.

(“Plenty of food” and “plenty of room” are not correct — rapid population growth produced overcrowded cities, poor sanitation and housing shortages, and food insecurity for many.)
