Question

Each of the following is true of the meatpacking industry except that .

it developed during the Civil War to provide meat to Union soldiers

it was rejected by city dwellers because they did not like canned meats

the development of western rail lines meant cattle could be transported from the Great Plains to meatpacking plants without losing too much weight

meatpacking became a major industry in Midwestern cities such as Chicago, Cincinnati, and Milwaukee

Answer 1

The false statement is: "it was rejected by city dwellers because they did not like canned meats."

City dwellers did not reject canned/processed meats — they relied on preserved and refrigerated meats supplied by the growing packing industry, which helped drive its expansion in urban markets.
