The correct answer is A, the first one.

Answer 2

The description of education reforms introduced in the early 1800s was public schools and McGuffey readers. Option A is correct.

McGuffey Readers were a series of graded primers for grade levels 1-6. They were widely used as textbooks in American schools from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century, and are still used today in some private schools and in homeschooling.

Public schools have been present in America almost since the time the first immigrants landed on Plymouth Rock and called this country home.
