Question

Sunan thinks that modern conveniences have not really made people less physically active. He argues that before cars were invented, most people rode horse-drawn carriages or horses instead of walking long distances. Which is the BEST example of a task that used to help keep people in the United States more physically fit?

(1 point)

keeping cool before air conditioning


washing dishes before dishwashers


carrying water before indoor plumbing


sweeping floors before vacuum cleaners

Answer 1

carrying water before indoor plumbing

Carrying heavy buckets of water required repeated lifting and walking, so it was a much more physically strenuous daily task than the others.
