Select the correct text in the passage. In this excerpt from Hard Times by Charles Dickens, which three sections include images of the horrors of industrialization?
It was a town of red brick, or of brick that would have been red if the smoke and ashes had allowed it; but as matters stood it was a town of unnatural red
and black like the painted face of a savage. It was a town of machinery and tall chimneys, out of which interminable serpents of smoke trailed themselves
for ever and ever, and never got uncoiled. It had a black canal in it, and a river that ran purple with ill-smelling dye, and vast piles of building full of windows
where there was a rattling and a trembling all day long, and where the piston of the steam-engine worked monotonously up and down, like the head of an
elephant in a state of melancholy madness.
... You saw nothing in Coketown but what was severely workful. If the members of a religious persuasion built a chapel there - as the members of eighteen
religious persuasions had done - they made it a pious warehouse of red brick, with sometimes (but this is only in highly ornamental examples) a bell in a
birdcage on the top of it. The solitary exception was the New Church; a stuccoed edifice with a square steeple over the door, terminating in four short
pinnacles like florid wooden legs.
