The Coates family expects their pet golden retriever to have puppies any day now. A newspaper ad is placed by Mr. Coates, in preparation to sell the puppies. Calls are made by numerous interested people. The birth of a large litter of puppies causes the family to ask questions of everyone they know. Advice is given to the Coates family by several neighbors, as the puppies are becoming more and more active. During a visit to the vet, three of the eight puppies escape to three parts of the office. Then, when the Coates family gets home, one puppy digs under the fence, and all eight puppies scatter in different directions through the neighborhood. The puppies are chased down by all five members of the Coates family. The neighbors all bring leashes to help get the puppies under control. Stories are told by the neighbors to other neighbors who did not see the event. Three of the puppies are bought by the Santiago family. The family has three children, so each child is responsible for the care of one puppy. A big exhale is let out by the Coates family once the Santiago family drives away. Only five puppies will have to be watched constantly by the family. They know it won't be long before the puppies are gone, and life in the house will be back to normal. They give their best effort at containing the puppies, so there is no more digging out of the yard. One week later only one puppy remains, and the Coates family decides to keep him.

New Technology Leads to Bigger Cities

In the 1800s, the United States was still a very young nation, trying to solidify its identity. The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain, a fast development of society following the introduction of machines. The United States was slower than Great Britain to fully embrace the changes. Yet key technological developments caused a rapid growth in American urban areas.

Better farming methods and tools in the 1800s increased food production. Americans were able to grow enough food for their families as well as to sell. The abundance caused food prices to fall.

The expansion of cotton and the growth of textile factories in northern states helped produce the first wave of American industry. More people turned to work in northern factories as a way to support their families. Thousands of immigrants to the United States also settled in or near port cities, looking for work. Even today, the need for work is a common reason people move to urban areas.

As a result, cities grew in numbers of people and physical space. As more people and businesses moved in, they needed buildings for living and working. They needed ways to move around the city. We call this process urbanization.

In 1820, the United States had only a few cities of 10,000 residents or more. About seven percent of U.S. residents lived in urban areas. The number of cities with more than 10,000 people grew quickly over the next 40 years, especially in the Northeast and Midwest. By 1860, about 20 percent lived in cities. Philadelphia and New York City were the most populated cities in 1860 and would soon reach one million residents.

The urbanization of the United States quickened due to technology improvements. Without innovations in food production, the factories could not have grown so quickly. The trend quickened after 1860 and continued throughout the 21st century as well. By 2007, more Americans lived in or near cities than they did in rural areas.

Which sentence from the conclusion paragraph best rephrases the author's thesis? (5 points)

A. By 2007, more Americans lived in or near cities than they did in rural areas.
B. Without innovations in food production, the factories could not have grown so quickly.
C. The trend quickened after 1860 and continued throughout the 21st century as well.
D. The urbanization of the United States quickened due to technology improvements.
