Many people were focused only on gaining wealth and luxuries. This statement does not describe a weakness in american society in the late 1800s

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The statement of option B does not show anything about the weakness of the society of Americans rather it shows that people were working towards gaining wealth and wanted to improve the way they spent their life by increasing their luxury.

All the other options show something about the weakness of the American society like there was depletion of natural resources or slow responses of government or only few innovations.
