If by "suburb" is meant the outskirts of the city, which grows faster than its already developed interior, the process of suburbanization began during the emergence of the industrial city in the second quarter of the 19th century. Before this period, the city was a small, very compact cluster where people moved around on foot and goods were transported by horse and cart. But the early factories, built in the 1830s and 1840s, were located along waterways and near railway stations on the outskirts of cities, requiring housing for the thousands of people attracted by the prospect of employment.
In time, the factories were surrounded by growing mill towns of apartments and townhouses bordering the older capitals. As a defense against this offense and to increase their tax bases, the cities appropriated their industrial neighbors. Similar municipal maneuvers took place in Chicago and in New York. Indeed, most major cities of the United States achieved such status only by incorporating the communities along their borders.
Within a few years, horse-drawn carriages were phased out and electric streetcar networks crossed and connected all major urban areas, fueling a wave of suburbanization that transformed a compact industrial city into a sprawling metropolis. This first phase of mass suburbanization was reinforced by the simultaneous emergence of an urban middle class whose desire to own homes. In neighborhoods far from the aging city center, single-family housing developers were happy.
Which of the following was NOT mentioned in the passage as a factor in the nineteenth century. From the passage, we can conclude that after 1890, most people traveled through towns and cities. Where in the passage does the author describe cities as they were before suburbanization.

The moon is worshiped by primitive peoples and has inspired people to create everything from lunar calendars to love sonnets, but what do we really know about it? The most accepted theory about the moon's origin is that it formed about 4.6 billion years ago from the debris of a massive collision with the young Earth. The development of the earth is inextricably linked to the moon; The moon's gravitational influence on the Earth is the main cause of ocean tides.
In fact, the Moon has more than twice the effect on the tides as the Sun. The Moon completes one revolution and orbits the Earth every 27 days, 7 hours and 43 minutes. This synchronous rotation is caused by an uneven distribution of mass on the Moon (basically, it's heavier on one side than the other) and has allowed Earth's gravity to keep one side of the Moon permanently facing Earth.
The Moon has no atmosphere; without an atmosphere, the Moon has nothing to protect it from meteorite impacts, and so the surface of the Moon is covered with impact craters, both large and small. The Moon also has no active tectonic or volcanic activity, so the erosional effects of atmospheric weathering,. tectonic shifts, and volcanic upheavals that tend to erase and reshape Earth's surface features do not operate on the Moon. The geographic features of Earth most like those of the Moon are, in fact, places like the Hawaiian volcanic craters and the large meteor crater in Arizona.
The climate on the Moon, however, is very different from Hawaii or Arizona; in reality, the temperature on the moon varies between 123 degrees C. The first census of the new nation was taken in 1790 and counted about four million people, most of whom were white. However, by far the largest number of new immigrants were from Central, Eastern and Southern Europe.
For a few years in the first two decades of the 20th century, there were as many as one million new immigrants per year, a staggering 1 percent of the total population of the United States.
