Which of the following was an effect of the factory system?

Question

a) textile production dropped and made Britain struggle economically
b) other countries rejected business practices that Britain had invented
c) People were no longer their own bosses
d) People were able to make more money working at a factory than farming

Answer 1

The correct answer is: c) People were no longer their own bosses.

The factory system centralized production and led to workers being employed under the supervision of factory owners, which meant they no longer had the autonomy associated with self-employment or farming.
