To confirm the conditions in rural farm life and urban city life for people living in the late 1800s, the answers can be organized as follows:
RURAL FARM
- cleaner living conditions and fresher air
- no electricity, telegraph or telephone services
- long travel to get to a post office
URBAN CITY
- more structures built closer together
- better economic opportunities
- factories hiring lots of workers
- children working long hours like adults
Some conditions could apply to both rural and urban contexts, but the main distinctions are reflected in the characteristics listed above.
