Which aspect of upton sinclair’s life best explains his reasons for writing the jungle?
a. his lack of sympathy for the working class
b. his pro-capitalism views
c. his lack of education
d. his socialist politics

The correct answer is D) his socialist policies.

Upton Sinclair's fictional book The Jungle caused a significant uproar in American society. Even though this book was fiction, it accurately described the working conditions in Chicago's meatpacking industry. The disgusting and unsanitary working conditions displayed how life for workers in these factories was dangerous and unsafe.

Sinclair's description of these working conditions fueled his desire to have the government get involved with American businesses. This socialist idea called on government interference in the American economy in order to protect workers.
