Question

One of these locations near Woedolor Mountain is contrasted with the “Paradise of Bachelors” in a story by Herman Melville. (10[2]-5[2])After losing her job at one of these (-5[1])locations due to catching a cold from not having a winter coat, a novel’s protagonist runs into Charles Drouet for the second (-5[1])time. Carrie first finds work in one of these places in Sister Carrie. In a novel, a teenage boy drunkenly passes out in one of these (-5[1])buildings and is eaten by rats. (10[4])After attacking (-5[1])his (10[1])wife’s (10[1])boss (10[1])in one (10[1])of these (10[1])buildings, (10[1])a character becomes (10[1])the cellmate of Jack (10[2])Duane. Ona (10[1])works in one of these buildings (10[1]-5[1])in a novel (10[1])that follows (10[1])the Lithuanian Rudkis (10[2])family (10[3])moving to (10[2])Chicago. (10[5])For 10 points, name these buildings that Upton Sinclair’s (10[1])novel The Jungle (10[3])criticized for their poor working conditions in the meat (10[1])industry. ■END■ (10[5])

ANSWER: factory [accept paper, shoe, or meatpacking factory or plant; accept paper mill; accept slaughterhouse; prompt on “the Tartarus of Maids” by asking “what kind of location is it?”; prompt on workplace or business] (The Melville story is “The Paradise of Bachelors and the Tartarus of Maids.”)
