Question 1 of 51👑 VIP
Read the following passage and answer the question. 'When the steel mills of Pittsburgh closed in the 1980s, entire neighborhoods collapsed overnight. Families who had spent three generations building lives around the mill found themselves without income, without purpose, and without the social fabric that the factory had quietly stitched together. Community centers shuttered. Churches emptied. The corner stores that had fed workers on lunch breaks boarded their windows. Decades later, urban planners studying the region concluded that the damage was not merely economic — it was psychological and architectural, etched into the geography of the city itself.' Which statement BEST describes the central claim of this passage?
