Instead of using the word "connection", he pronounces is "gonnegtion" which shows that he doesn't pronounce his 'c's correctly.

Upton Sinclair, Ida Tarbell and Frank Norris were amont the first journalists to publicize immoral, corrupt practices of large industries during the Progressive Era.
Upton Sinclair was an American writer who won the Pulitzer Prize. In 1904, Fred Warren, editor of the socialist newspaper Appeal to Reason, commissioned him a report on the bad practices of the food industry that would become the novel The Jungle, an unprecedented sales success and a huge international commotion. As a consequence, President Theodore Roosevelt received the author in the White House and put in place laws to ensure the quality of food for human consumption.
Ida Tarbell was an American professor, writer and journalist, considered one of the main "muckrakers" of the Progressive Era. She is known for her research on John D. Rockefeller and the Standard Oil Company; her investigations exposed the unfair monopolistic practices carried out by the company until the Supreme Court decided to dissolve the monopoly.

During the Spanish-American War, Norris was a correspondent in Cuba for McClure's magazine, being critical of American interventionist policies in the war.
This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Read the excerpt from chapter 7 of Night.
Meir Katz remained on the train. The last day had been the most lethal. We had been a hundred or so in this wagon. Twelve of us left it. Among them, my father and myself.
The author’s main purpose in this excerpt is to show that ______
A) few survived the horrific train ride.
B) the author and his father were safe.
C) Meir Katz was not as strong as he seemed.
D) Meir Katz was left behind to remove the dead.
Answer:
The author’s main purpose in this excerpt is to show that A) few survived the horrific train ride.
Explanation:
This excerpt makes one clear point. It's main purpose is to show how horrific the train ride was, especially its last night. Out of a hundred people who had been in the wagon, only 12 left. The author does mention that him and his father were safe. Yet, the most important piece of information - and the most shocking one - is how many people died. Therefore, letter A is the best option.
