Although the
Women’s Industrial Defence
Committee (WIDC), formed
(15)    in 1892 in response to earlier
legislative attempts to restrict
women’s labor, did not dis-
count the white lead trade’s
potential health dangers, it
(20)    opposed the proposal, view-
    ing it as yet another instance
    of limiting women’s work
opportunities.  Also opposing
the proposal was the Society
(25)    for Promoting the Employment
of Women (SPEW), which
attempted to challenge it by
investigating the causes of ill-
ness in white lead factories.
(30)    SPEW contended, and WIDC
concurred, that controllable
conditions in such factories
    were responsible for the devel-
opment of lead poisoning.
(35)     SPEW provided convincing
evidence that lead poisoning
could be avoided if workers
were careful and clean and
    if already extant workplace
(40)    safety regulations were
stringently enforced.  
Which of the following, if true, would most clearly support the contention attributed to SPEW in lines 30-34 (“SPEW contended … lead poisoning”) ?
      
A.    Those white lead factories that most strongly enforced regulations concerning worker safety and hygiene had the lowest incidences of lead poisoning among employees.
B.    The incidence of lead poisoning was much higher among women who worked in white lead factories than among women who worked in other types of factories.
C.    There were many household sources of lead that could have contributed to the incidence of lead poisoning among women who also worked outside the home in the late nineteenth century.
D.    White lead factories were more stringent than were certain other types of factories in their enforcement of workplace safety regulations.
E.    Even brief exposure to the conditions typically found in white lead factories could cause lead poisoning among factory workers.
