Answer 1

The correct answer is 'c', the 1960s.

Answer 2

## Step 1The problem is a multiple-choice question that requires knowledge of the historical context of Jacob Riis's work, "How the Other Half Lives". This book, published in 1890, exposed the harsh living conditions in New York City's tenements and played a significant role in the housing reform movement.## Step 2The question asks in which decade the federal government was most effectively prompted to take action by studies similar to Riis's. The options provided are the 1920s, 1950s, 1960s, and 1980s.## Step 3The correct answer is the 1960s. This is because the 1960s was a period of significant social and political change in the United States, marked by the Civil Rights Movement and the War on Poverty. The federal government was particularly responsive to issues of social inequality and poverty during this time, leading to the implementation of policies and programs aimed at improving living conditions for the poor.## Step 4The other options, the 1920s, 1950s, and 1980s, do not align as closely with the historical context of Riis's work and its impact on federal policy. The 1920s were a period of economic prosperity and not significant social reform. The 1950s were marked by the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement but not specifically by federal action on housing reform. The 1980s were characterized by economic policies under President Reagan that were not focused on social welfare reforms.
