President roosevelt’s first reaction to upton sinclair’s the jungle is best described as

a outrage toward the meat-packing industry.
b disgust and anger toward meat-packing industry workers.
c surprise at the public’s demand for healthy livestock.
d disbelief and distrust of sinclair’s claims.

The correct answer is A)Outraged at the Meat Packing Industry. The reason (A) is chosen instead of (B) is because Roosevelt was not upset with the workers, but the industry itself. Even though President Roosevelt had expressed distrust of the investigative writers, (C) would not be the correct answer as Upton's account was found to be accurate. Roosevelt had the meat packers industry investigated and he passed a law that regulated the industry and kept them from being able to continue their disgusting practices.

The answer is "D": Disbelief and Distrust of Sinclair's Claims 

I just took the test and got 100%

Hope this helps
