Answer 1

Check the boxes that apply:

- ✅ The wealthy moved away from the city center to the outskirts.
(Suburbanization and “white flight” led many wealthier residents to leave central neighborhoods.)

- ✅ The poor remained in the city center.
(As wealthier residents moved out, lower-income residents often stayed or were concentrated in inner-city areas.)

- ⬜ Better transportation caused more wealthy people to move to the city center.
(False direction: better transportation—streetcars, trains, cars—generally enabled wealthier people to move out to suburbs/outer neighborhoods, not into the center.)

- ✅ Immigrant groups formed their own separate communities.
(Ethnic enclaves and settlement patterns contributed to social and spatial divisions within cities.)
