The correct response highlighting the change that working-class people experienced during the Industrial Revolution in urban settings compared to their previous rural lives is:

Men worked long hours outside the home in the city instead of working shorter days on a family farm.

This reflects the shift from agricultural work, which often had more flexible hours and family involvement, to the factory system, which typically demanded longer hours and a more rigid schedule in urban settings.
