The correct answer to this question is A) Both living and working conditions were unsafe.
The statement that best summarizes the living and working conditions of the urban poor at the turn of the 20th century is both living and working conditions were unsafe.
At the turn of the 20th century, things had not been very favorable for the urban poor. Working conditions were unsafe and some times poor people had not had the opportunity to get better jobs that made them prosperous. With unsafe working conditions and poor jobs, poor urban people did have the opportunity to afford better living conditions. Most of the time they have to use some federal programs to help their families. Their living conditions were difficult too because they lived in tough neighborhoods where gangs and crime were part of their daily lives.
