The Jungle is a famous novel by which author, and what issue does it highlight?

• A. A city in the Jungle book
• B. A scientific paper on microbiology
• C. A famous novel, written by Upton Sinclair, about the meatpacking industry
• D. A painting

Answer: (C)

Upton Sinclair wrote The Jungle, and it highlights the meatpacking industry, revealing unsanitary processing conditions, dangerous practices, and the exploitation of workers. Published in 1906 as muckraking literature, the novel aimed to expose how industrial capitalism affected people and led to public outcry that helped push food-safety reforms like the Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act. This isn't describing a city in a Jungle book, a scientific paper, or a painting, which is why those options don’t fit.
