    In the Deep South a sharp increase in immigration brought a boom in construction and industry

    Answer: Option C

    Explanation:

    During the Gilded age there was a rapid economic growth that swept across North and West. In America skilled workers were paid higher hence there were many a people who started shifting to America from Europe. It was the era that marked the development of parochial schools, colleges, hospitals and charities.

    Women enjoyed social status and they were given the right to vote and participate in politics. This was the age where inequality between the wealthy and the poor was exhibited. Due to more immigrants cheap labor was available.

    The wealthy lived a very posh life while the downtrodden and destitute suffered even for their basic needs.
