What did Jacob Riis write?

  2. Auguste Bartholdi, Gustave Eiffel

  3. Antonio Meucci

  4. Peter Stuyvesant

The correct answer is: How The Other Half Lives

Jacob Riis wrote "How The Other Half Lives." This book was a groundbreaking work of photojournalism that exposed the harsh living conditions of the poor in New York City during the late 19th century. Riis' work shed light on the squalid tenements and poverty experienced by many immigrants and lower-class residents, ultimately leading to social reform and improvements in housing and living conditions in the city. The other options are not relevant to Jacob Riis or his work.
