Levi Strauss came to the United States from Bavaria as a teenager.

After spending several

years in New York, he made a journey to California when the gold rush was at its peak. He
got the idea to sell tents to the gold miners, but they were not interested. He recycled the
brown canvas cloth into sturdy pants which became a great demand in mining camps.
Later he began making workpants in a blue cotton fabric imported from France, called
“Serge de Nimes”, but known as “Denim”
Along with Jacob Davis, a tailor from Nevada, Strauss patterned a pattern of cooper rivets
to strengthen the stress point on pants, especially the pocket. They first became known as
waist overalls, then “Levis”. They became so popular that Strauss concentrated most of his
effort on the manufacture and sales of the durable work pants.

What is the main idea of paragraph one?

A. The life of Levi Strauss
B. The favorite workpants
C. The history of gold rush
D. The early business of Levi

We can conclude from the text that….

A. Strauss once lived in France
