Answer:
B.
Explanation:
"The Jungle" is a novel written by Upton Sinclair. The novel elucidates on the horrific working conditions of the meat industry, that it created great public uproar bringing new federal safety laws in the nation.
The phrase "they use everything of the pig except the squeal" advances the central idea of the text by informing the audience about the environment of the meatpacking industry and that they use even spoiled meat and non-meat parts to make meat. This furthers the central idea that the industry is corrupt and holds unhygienic sanitary conditions.
