- 00:30
done the passage most strongly suggests that people were attracted
- 00:33
toe urban areas after world war two because why And
- 00:38
hear the potential answers Yeah Well first of all we
- 00:43
don't have to wonder if people were more attracted to
- 00:45
urban areas after the war because we're flat out told
- 00:48
that they were the only ask here is that we
- 00:50
determine why there is such a mass exodus from rural
- 00:54
areas cows and pigs finally rise up and drive him
- 00:57
away from their farms and call on that one Mr
- 01:00
orwell Yeah who's from ups good force from ups better
- 01:05
was it because be these areas had more dining options
- 01:08
Well you might be picturing a modern day city street
- 01:10
with a starbucks and subway on every other corner but
- 01:14
the reason so many eating establishments started topping up in
- 01:17
the first place was because so many people flooded into
- 01:20
cities to the increase in dining options was really more
- 01:23
the result of the rise in urban population and the
- 01:26
cause of it Could it be d There were more
- 01:29
cultural experiences in the city's well same deal results rather
- 01:33
than the cause There was no reason to put on
- 01:35
a production of cats or fiddler on the roof for
- 01:39
never before the cities were hugely populated but after they
- 01:42
got jam packed there was suddenly an audience for all
- 01:45
sorts of entertainment although their idea of entertainment might have
- 01:48
been slightly different back then Number bill All right so
- 01:52
yeah d is out next up See there was a
- 01:54
depression in rural areas Well not at all In fact
- 01:57
is the passage states Once the city's became more bustling
- 02:01
the rural areas actually profited With all the new eateries
- 02:04
popping up agriculture became mohr important and lucrative than ever
- 02:08
Because all those fruits veggies and meat products had to
- 02:10
come from somewhere And it's not like restaurant tours could
- 02:14
just run out to the corner of thirty fifth and
- 02:16
main and last so themselves a cow killing stuff So
- 02:20
see ain't it Which means our answers A These areas
- 02:23
had more job opportunities Yep If there was one thing
- 02:27
the city's had all over rural areas it was the
- 02:29
zillions of factory jobs All sorts of stuff needed to
- 02:33
be built Unfortunately because the technology wasn't so great back
- 02:36
then no robots plenty of stuff needed to be fixed
- 02:40
too Awesome More jobs So yeah believe it or not
- 02:43
there was a time in our history where not everything 00:02:46.23 --> [endTime] was made in china
