What does the author mean in the story "the jungle" when he describes the “great packing machine” at the beginning of the last paragraph?

The phrase "the great packing machine" refers to the slaughter industry. This is the industry that the author discusses in his book "The Jungle." In this book, the author shows the shortcomings of the meat packing industry in the United States. We learn that this industry was extremely unsanitary, a fact that shocked readers. We also learn that the workers who work in this industry often faced long and difficult hours, harsh work and very low pay.

multiple settings

< > reasoning \ evidence < >

novels have multiple settings. a setting is a place or surrounding when a main event or event takes place. not everything happens in just one scene or setting. yes, there can be one *main* setting, but there is definitely not just one. b is incorrect. novels do not have limited characters. there are many characters in a novel, depending on how many the writer wishes to add in. c is incorrect. there is not just a single theme. there are many themes. another word for "theme" is the subject. there can be many subjects and topics. once again, there are many, depending on however many the author wishes to add or include. d is incorrect. yes, novels *can* have no solutions, based on what the author would like. but typically, novels have a solution. the solution might be in "book 5", but there is normally still a solution.
